[Verse 1]
A7 D7sus4           G
   Sittin' with the fat man
A7        D7sus4 G
 Tryin' to get a loan
A7 D7sus4        G
   Talkin' about horses
A7         D7sus4           G
   And the women that we've known

[Verse 2]
A7 D7sus4          G
   Spittin' on the sidewalk
A7 D7sus4             G
   Squintin' into the sun
A7 D7sus4           G
   Greetin' all the people
A7            D7sus4 G
   Smilin' at every- one

       A7    D7sus4  G
I said "Hey, listen, Fat Man
A7            D7sus4 G
 I just can't get a  break
A7      D7sus4 G
 Must I pay my whole life long
A7       D7sus4   G
 For just one mistake?"

[Verse 3]
A7             D7sus4       G
 "My brother's in the armed forces
A7        D7sus4 G
 My sister is in jail
A7         D7sus4        G
 Won't you give me fifty dollars
A7       D7sus4   G
 So I can pay her bail?"

He said "You can't fool the Fat Man
A7       D7sus4     G
 No, you can't fool me
A7             D7sus4  G
 You're just a two-bit grifter
A7                D7sus4 G
 That's all you'll ever  be"

 That's all you'll ever  be"
