(verse 1)
      Gm               F       Cm  Dm
I was walkin' down the street 
       Gm                  F     Cm
Concen-tratin' on truckin' right 
  Dm      Gm                   F   Cm  Dm
I heard a dark voice beside of me 
             Gm                  F      Cm  Dm
And I looked round in a state of fright.

(bridge 1)
           Gm              F
I saw four faces  one mad 
  Cm               Dm
A brother from the gutter 
     Gm                      F
They looked me up and down a bit 
    Cm                    Dm
And turned to each other.

Well he looked down at my silver chain 
             Gm                   F  Cm  Dm
He said I'll give you one dollar.

And you'll be sorry you crossed me 
      Cm           Dm
You'd better under-stand 
              Gm    F  Cm
That you're a-lone 
  Dm            Gm    F  Cm  Dm (n.c)
A long way from home.         And I say...
