E7Back porch preacher preaching at me E7Acting like he wrote the golden rules A7Shaking his fist and speeching at me E7Shouting from his soap box like a fool Come B7Sunday morning he's lying in bed [break] With his A7eye all red, with the wine in his head [break] A7 Wishing he was dead | E7 A7 | E7 | When he oughta be heading for Sunday school [break]
[Chorus]
Clean up your own backA7yard Oh don't you hand me none of your E7lines Clean up your B7own backyard A7 | E7 A7 | E B7 | You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine [break]
