Us Male

G               Am
 I'm a U.S. Male cause I was born
D7                          G
 In a Mississippi town on a Sunday morn
    G7                              C
Now Mississippi just happens to occupy a place
       D                                  G
In the southeastern portion of this here United States
G7
 Now that's a matter of fact buddy

[Verse 1]
      G                Am
Now I said all that to say all this
          D7                           G
I've been watching the way you've been watching my miss
        G                         C
For the last three weeks you been hot on her trail
        D7               G
And you kinda upset this U.S. Male

[Verse 2]
    G                        Am
You touch her once with your greasy hands
          D7                       G
I'm gonna stretch your neck like a long rubber band
      G                     Am
She's wearing a ring that I bought her on sale
         D7                             G
And that makes her the property of this U.S. Male


[Chorus]
    C                                     G
You better not mess with the U.S. Male my friend
    C                                    G
The U.S. Male gets mad he's gonna do you in
    C                        G
You know what's good for yourself son
           C             G
You better find somebody else son
      Am                    D              G
Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male

[Verse 3]
            G                         Am
Through the rain and the heat and the sleet and the snow
    D            G
The U.S. Male is on his toes
     G                     Am
Quit watching my woman for that ain't wise
          D7                   G
You ain't pulling no wool over this boy's eyes


[Verse 4]
  G                  Am
I catch you round my woman, champ
          D7                        G
I'm gonna leave your head about the shape of a stamp
      G                Am
Kinda flattened out so you'll do well
        D7                     G
To quit playing games with this U.S. Male


[Chorus]
    C                                     G
You better not mess with the U.S. Male my friend
    C                                    G
The U.S. Male gets mad he's gonna do you in
    C                        G
You know what's good for yourself son
          C             G
You gonna find somebody else son
      Am                    D              G
