E     


[Chorus]
E
I am a back door man
E
I am a back door man
                        G7                         E
Well the men don't know, but the little girls understand


[Verse 1]
E
When everybody's tryin' to sleep
E
I'm somewhere making my midnight creep
             G7                 E
Every morning, when the rooster crow
                G7   E
Something tell me,   I got to go


[Chorus]
E
I am a back door man
E
I am a back door man
                        G7      E        G7        E
Well the men don't know, but the little girls understand


[Verse 2]
E
They take me to the doctor, shot full o' holes
E
Nurse cried, please save the soul
                     G7         E
Killed him for murder, first degree
                  G7   E
Judge's wife cried,    let the man go free


[Chorus]
E
I am a back door man
E
I am a back door man
                        G7                         E
Well the men don't know, but the little girls understand


[Verse 3]
E
Stand out there
E
Cop's wife cried, don't take him down
E
Rather be dead, six feets in the ground
E
When you come home you can eat pork and beans
G7                E
I eats mo' chicken, any man seen


[Outro]
E
I am a back door man
E
I am a back door man
