INTRO:  C 

 C 
I'm walkin' down the street 

Like Lucky Larue 
 F 
Got my hand in my pocket 

I'm thinkin' 'bout you 
        C              G 
I ain't hurtin' nobody

In the state of Tennessee

Six million seven hundred thousand 
                   F    C 
And thirty-three lights on 
 G 
You think someone could take the time 
                                       F   C 
To sit down and listen to the words of my song 
C 
At the beach in Indiana 

I was nine years old 
F 
Heard Little Richard singing "Tutti Frutti" 

>From the top of a telephone pole 
            C           G 
I wasn't hurtin' nobody 
                     C 
I wasn't hurtin' no one

There's roosters laying chickens 

And chickens layin' eggs 
F 
Farm machinery eating 

People's arms and legs

I ain't hurtin' nobody 
                    C 
I ain't hurtin' no one 
G 
Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use 
      F     C 
the wrong rhyme 
 G 
You'd think that waitress could get my order 
            F    C 
Right the first time 

INSTRUMENTAL: 
 C    F    C   G    C 

 C 
She's sitting on the back steps 

Just shucking that corn 
 F 
That gal's been grinning 

Since the day she was born 
            C            G 
She ain't hurtin' nobody 
                      C 
She ain't hurtin' no one 
C 
I used to live in Chicago 

Where the cold wind blows 
F 
I delivered more junk mail 

Than the junkyard would hold 
            C           G 
I wasn't hurtin' nobody 
                     C 
I wasn't hurtin' no one 
 G 
You can fool some of the people part of the time 
               F    C 
In a rock and roll song 
 G 
Fifty million Elvis Presley Fans 
          F    C 
Can't be all wrong 
C 
I'm walkin' down the street 

Like Lucky Larue 
F 
Got my hand in my pocket, Baby 

I'm thinkin' 'bout you
