Lyrics

I hate a (Ab7)man

(G7)like (Cm)you.

Don’t like the (Ab7)things (G7)you (Cm)do.

When I met you I (Cm)thought you was right.

You mar ried me and stayed (Cm)out the (G7)first (Cm)night.

(Cm)Do you (G7)think you (Cm)treat ed (Fm)your

wife (G7)y (Cm)right?

Lord, I hate a man (G7)like you.

Just like a wom an, you’re (Cm)al ways car ry ing tales,

(G7)try in’ to make trou ble, wan na (Cm)get me (G7)in (Cm)jail.

(Cm)Then (G7)can’t find (Cm)no one (Fm)to

go (G7)my (Cm)bail.

I hate a (Ab7)man

(G7)like (Cm)you.

Don’t like the (Ab7)things (G7)you (Cm)do.

Walk in’ a round with a (Cm)switch and a rock.

Shoot in’ dice,

al ways play (G7)in’ cards.

While I (G7)bring a pan (Fm)from the (Cm)white (G7)folks yard.

Lord I hate a man (G7)like you.

I hate a (Ab7)man

(G7)like (Cm)you.

Don’t like the (Ab7)things (G7)you (Cm)do.

Walk in’ a round with a (Cm)switch and a rock.

Shoot in’ dice,

al ways play (G7)in’ cards.

While I (G7)bring a pan (Fm)from the (Cm)white (G7)folks yard.

Lord I hate a man (G7)like you.

I hate a (Ab7)man

(G7)like (Cm)you.

Can’t stand the (Ab7)things (G7)you (Cm)do.

Eat in’ and drink in’,

(Cm)sit tin’ at the inn.

Grin in my face

and (Cm)wink in’ at (G7)my friends.

When my (G7)back is turned you’re (Fm)like a roos ter (G7)at a hen.

Lord, I hate a man (G7)like you.

Lord, I hate a man like (Cm)you.
