C  Am    C  Am    C  Am    C

[Verse 1]
                Am                 C           Am      C
Got the summons served on a Sunday, see what I done
                    Am                            C
I couldn't see much sense in the charges, but they sure sounded like fun
               Am                     C                   Am     C
So, I went downtown at the Bow Street, to see the company man
                 Am                            C 
"Hey boy, you're in a heap of trouble, but I'll do everything that I can"


[Chorus]

But the judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
F
And that's a fact (and that's a fact)
    C
The judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
F
And that's a fact
                                             C
You shouldn't let yourself get caught in the act


[Verse 2]
              Am               C              Am      C
Sorry for the damage I've done, try to pay it back
                 Am                 C
The only crime I ever committed was, being caught in the act
                Am                  C                 Am      C
So the next time that you feel good, don't forget the fact
                 Am                         C 
There's a man in blue and he wants you to-a, be caught in the act


[Chorus]

And the judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
F
And that's a fact (and that's a fact)
          C
Well, the judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
F
And that's a fact
                                      C            
Hope that you never get caught in the act


[Instrumental]
C  Am    C  Am    C  Am    C


[Chorus]

Yeah, the judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
F
And that's a fact (and that's a fact)
          C
Yeah, the judge is a grudge man (the judge is a grudge man___)
F
And that's a fact
                                      C            
Hope you don't ever get caught in the act
F                                     C            
Hope you don't ever get caught in the act
