C                 C7/E                 F   
You got to open your eyes in the morning, 
 
D7                                       F 
Nine o'clock comin' without any warnin' 
 
                  C/G       Dm7/G      C   
And you gotta get ready to go. 
 
     
C                    C7/E         F 
You say you went out late last evenin' 
 
D7                                   F 
Did a lot of drinkin', come home stinkin', 
     
                C/G                 Dm/G 
And you went and fell asleep on the floor. 
 
     
C                       C7/E                         F                   
And then your lady comes and finds you a sleepin' 
 
D7                                                   F 
Starts into weepin' 'bout the hours you been keepin' 
 
                 C/G                                            C 
And you better get your ass out the door. 
             
F                              F 
Ain't no crime,    
                     C                                  C/E                      C/G         C7/Bb 
Yeah, it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind, 
 
     F                            F 
It ain't no crime 
   
              C                            C/E          C/G        C7/Bb 
Well, ev'rybody gets that way sometime. 
   
   F                                  F 
It ain't no crime. 
 
C/G      F/A          C/G          G7          C/G               G7 
Oh.
