Title: CAREFUL MAN
Words and music written by: Jim Croce


Verse I

E
I don't gamble, I don't fight
           A
I don't be hangin' in the bars at night
       E
Yeah I used to be a fighter
    B                E
But now I am a wiser man

Verse II

E
I don't drink much, I don't smoke
           A
I don't be hardly mess around with no dope
       E
Yeah I used to be a problem
    B                  E
But now I am a careful man

CHORUS:

E           A
But if you used to want to see a commotion
                E
You should have seen the man that I used to be
      A
I was trouble in perpetual motion
B
Trouble with a capital "T"

Verse III

E
Stayin' out late, havin' fun
             A
And shot off every single shot in my gun
       E
Yeah I used to be a lover
    B
But now I am an older man

CHORUS:

E           A
But if you used to want to see a commotion
                E
You should have seen the man that I used to be
      A
I was trouble in perpetual motion
B
Trouble with a capital "T"

Verse IV

E
Stayin' out late, havin' fun
             A
And shot off every single shot in my gun
       E
Yeah I used to be a terror
    B
But now I am a tired man.

Enjoy!
