[Verse 1]
F#m A D A
You don’t mess around with a man in black
F#m A D E
You say something wrong that you can’t take back
D A E
You go for a ride in his automobile
F#m A D A
The spot in the woods just over the hill
D A E F#m
No, you don’t mess around with a man in black
[Verse 2]
F#m A D A
You don’t fool around with a woman in red
F#m A D E
You wake up alone in a cold barren bed
D A E
She’ll empty your pockets and rip out your heart
F#m A D A
And leave you with ruins of a life torn apart
D A E F#m
No, you don’t fool around with a woman in red

[Verse 3]
F#m A D A
You never make deals with a guy named Doc
F#m A D A
You’ll have a gun in your hands by 12 o’clock
D A E
And if the sodium lights with your heart in your throat
F#m A D A
Your life won’t amount to a bottle of smoke
D A E F#m
No, you never make deals with a guy named doc
[Verse 4]
F#m A D A
Don’t bring me your tales of temptation and loss
F#m A D A
The rags of your dreams, your shattered cross
D A E
I’ve heard your confession, I know who you blame
D A E
If you had it all back you’d just lose it again
F#m A D A
You can bank on redemption if you’re insane
D A E F#m
So don’t bring me your tales of temptation and loss
D A E F#m
Oh don’t bring me the pieces of your shattered cross
