Now [ A ] my friend Bill was just a [ D ] working lad And he [ C# ] liked to have his [ D ] fun. He'd like to [ A ] find a girl and get [ E ] comfortable When his [ D ] working day was [ E7 ] done.
He would [ F#m ] spend all his money on a [ C#7 ] Friday night, [ D ] Wake up in the morning [ A ] broke, But he [ F#m ] had a run in with little [ C#7 ] Lucy then; Be[ D ]lieve me that ain't no [ E7 ] joke.
[ A ] Watch [ C#7 ] out for [ F#m ] Lucy, [ D ] [ A ] Though she [ C#7 ] may look [ F#m ] frail. [ D ] Said, "Ex[ A ]cuse me, [ C#7 ] Lucy, [ F#m ] Darling don't you [ D ] use me; [ A ] I don't want to [ E7 ] land in [ A ] jail."
[ A ] [ C#7 ] [ F#m ] [ D ] [ A ] [ E7 ] [ A ] [ E7 ]
She [ A ] started out working in a [ D ] cafe, Picking [ C# ] money up on the [ D ] side. She was [ A ] free and easy, [ E ] everybody's friend, But she [ D ] couldn't be satis[ E7 ]fied.
So now [ F#m ] in walks Bill with his [ C#7 ] cash in his hand, His [ D ] heart upon his [ A ] sleeve. We [ F#m ] tried to warn him a[ C#7 ]bout her ways, We [ D ] never did suc[ E7 ]ceed.
Chorus

Well, the [ A ] trap was sprung for [ D ] poor old Bill; You should have [ C# ] heard little Lucy [ D ] sing "I want a [ A ] Cadillac car, a [ E ] beautiful home, And a [ D ] thousand dollar [ E7 ] ring."
They [ F#m ] found our hero in the [ C#7 ] gutter With a [ D ] diamond ring and a [ A ] gun. He'd [ F#m ] done it for the love of [ C#7 ] Lucy And [ D ] ended up on the [ E7 ] run.
