Illegal Smile by John Prine
Capo 2nd fret
GWhen I woke up this Dmorning, Cthings were lookin' Gbad
Cseemed like total Gsilence was the Donly Cfriend I Ghad
Da bowl of oatmeal Ctried to stare me Gdown... Cand Gwon
and it was Dtwelve o'clock before I Crealized that I was Ghavin' Cno Gfun
{chorus}
Ah, but Dfortunately I Ghave the key to esCcape reDaliGty
Change to 3/4 time
and you may Csee me tonight with an Gillegal smile
it don't Dcost very much, but it Glasts a long while
won't you Cplease tell the man I didn't Gkill anyone
no I was Djust tryin' to Chave me some Gfun C G C G C
Change back to 4/4 time
last Gtime I checked my Dbankroll, well Cit was gettin' Gthin
someCtimes it seems like the Gbottom is the Donly Cplace I've Gbeen
Dchased a rainbow Cdown a one-way Gstreet... Cdead Gend
and Dall my friends turned Cout to be inGsurance CsalesGmen
{chorus}
Ah, but Dfortunately I Ghave the key to esCcape reDaliGty
Change to 3/4 time
and you may Csee me tonight with an Gillegal smile
it don't Dcost very much, but it Glasts a long while
won't you Cplease tell the man I didn't Gkill anyone
no I was Djust tryin' to Chave me some Gfun C G C G C
Change back to 4/4 time
Well, I Gsat down in my Dcloset with Call my overGalls
just Ctryin' to get aGway from all the Dears inCside the Gwalls
Ddreamed the police Cheard everything I Gthought... Cwhat Gthen?
well I Dwent to court and the Cjudge's name Gwas CHoffGman
{chorus}
Ah, but Dfortunately I Ghave the key to esCcape reDaliGty
Change to 3/4 time
and you may Csee me tonight with an Gillegal smile
it don't Dcost very much, but it Glasts a long while
won't you Cplease tell the man I didn't Gkill anyone
no I was Djust tryin' to Chave me some Gfun C G C G C
