[Verse 1]
 
C                             F C
If you're looking for trouble
                            G C
You came to the right place
                              F C
If you're looking for trouble
                             G C
Take a look right at my face
                       F C
I was born standing up
                 G C
And talking back
 
[Chorus 1]
 
                                  C  C7
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
           F7 F                    C  C7
'Cause I'm evil, my middle name is misery
            G7 F7                 F           C
Well, I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
 
[Verse 2]
 
                              F C
I've never looked for trouble
                   G C
But I've never ran
                       F C
I don't take no orders
                    G C
From no kind of man
                  F C
I'm only made out
                         G C
Of flesh, blood and bone
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                                                   C     C7
But if you're gonna start a rumble, Don't you try it all alone
            F7  F                 C     C7
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery, whoa
          G7 F7                   F           C
Well, I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me

[Verse 3]
 
                    D
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash, Left my mama a goodbye note
 
By sundown I'd left Kingston, With my guitar under my coat
                 G                                          G7
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis, Got a room at the YMCA
             D7
For the next three weeks I went huntin' them nights, Just lookin' for a place to play
              A7                                      G7
Well, I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire, But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man
 
[Interlude]
 
D G G A A
 
[Chorus 3]
 
                     D
Well, I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis, I run outta money and luck
            D7
So I bought me a ride down to Macon, Georgia, On a overloaded poultry truck
             G
I thumbed on down to Panama City, Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars
D7
Hopin' I could make myself a dollar, Makin' music on my guitar
               A7                                       G
I got the same old story at them all night piers, There ain't no room around here for a
       D
guitar man

[Verse 4]
 
   G                                              G7
So I slept in the hobo jungles, Roamed a thousand miles of track
       D7
Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama, At a club they call Big Jack's
           G7
A little four-piece band was jammin', So I took my guitar and I sat in
      E7                                            A7
I showed 'em what a band would sound like, With a swingin' little guitar man
 
Show 'em, son
 
[Interlude]

[Outro]
 
                   E
If you ever take a trip down to the ocean, Find yourself down around Mobile
  E7                                                                E
Make it on out to a club called Jack's, If you got a little time to kill
   A
Just follow that crowd of people, You'll wind up out on his dance floor
E7
Diggin' the finest little five piece group, Up and down the Gulf of Mexico
   B7                                            A
Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band, Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin'
              E    D E7 D E7 D E   E! E!
little guitar man
              If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face

I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I've never looked for trouble
But I've never ran
I don't take no orders
From no kind of man

I'm only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you're gonna start a rumble
Don't you try it on alone

Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be

So don't mess around don't mess around don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I'm evil, evil, evil
So don't mess around, don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I tell you I'm evil
So don't mess around with me
Yeah!

Well, I quit my job down at the car wash
Left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston
With my guitar under my coat
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis
