[Intro] E  A  D  A 
        E  A  D  A 

I'm a poor boy born in a rut
Some say my manners ain't the best
Some of my friends have been in a whole lot of trouble
And some say I'm no better than the rest                                    

B                               C
But tell your momma and your papa

B                          C
Sometimes good guys don't wear white

E    A  D  A
Everyday I work hard
At night I spend a restless time
Those rich kids and all their lazy money
They can't hold a candle to mine

B                             C
So tell your momma and your papa

B                               C
Sometimes good guys don't wear white
                                   
( E  A  D  A )
( E  A  D  A )

G
Good guys, bad guys
             C 
Which is which?

G
The white collar worker

         C
Or the digger of the ditch?


G
Man, who's to say who's the better man?

           C                   B
Of those two I do the best I can

Best I can

( E  A  D  A )
( E  A  D  A )

You thought I had a dirty mind
All those messed up chicks
Of the changing times
Love-filled and easy living
Can't come close
To the love that I've given

B
So tell your momma and your papa

              C
Sometimes good guys don't wear white

( E  A  D  A )
( E  A  D  A )

They don't wear white
They don't wear white
They don't wear white
They don't wear white
