B             G
My life's in jeopardy
                                    E
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
  D
I ain't been home since Friday night
     E                    B
and now my wife is comin' after me
C#m
Give me police protection,
       G                             E
Gonna buy a gun so I can look after number one
 D                                 G
Give me a bodyguard, a black belt Judo expert
          F#
With a machine gun.

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me,
won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough to send her half insane
Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I'll still be alive

E                    F#
All I did was have a bit too much to drink
       B                  C#m
And I picked the wrong precinct
     E                        F#
Got picked up by the law and now
                      B
I ain't got time to think.

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me,
won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough to send her half insane
Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I'll still be alive

And I'm oh, so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I gotta rest sometime
So I can get to run some more, yeah!

She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
