              Bigger Fish To Fry featuring the New Kung Pao Buckaroos  
 
Intro: F G C  
 
E                     Am  
I said a bad word when I was a kid  
      E                             Am  
Momma said that I'd be sorry for the sin that I did  
E                       Am  
Bbaddy whooped me and the preacher said shame  
      D                 G  
And I tried like hell to change  
 
      C      F       C              F  
But I cuss I smoke I laugh at dirty jokes  
    C                         G  
The minor vices man I know em well  
     C           F  
I've closed down bars   
     C            F  
I've lusted in my heart  
   C                           G  
My Ex's think I oughta burn in hell  
        F                            G  
But the devil he won't notice when I die  
         F               G              C  
Don't ya figure he's got bigger fish to fry  
 
F G C  
 
E                 Am  
Politicians taking pork barrell bribes  
E                    Am  
Crooked CEO's getting off with no time  
E                              Am  
Christmas eve burglars stealing good childrens toys Can't say Christmas  
D                        G  
Holiday burglars stealing good childrens toys  
 
      C      F       C              F  
But I cuss I smoke I laugh at dirty jokes  
    C                         G  
The minor vices man I know em well  
     C           F  
I've closed down bars   
     C            F  
I've lusted in my heart  
   C                               G  
My Ex thinks that I oughta burn in hell  
        F                            G  
But the devil he won't notice when I die  
         F               G              C  
Don't ya figure he's got bigger fish to fry  
 
Solo: E Am E Am D G  
 
            F                  C  
Yea there's gonna be a bonfire burning  
       F            C  
An everlasting barbecue  
         F                  C  
But with all the bad stuff going on  
           G  
There aint gonna be room for me and you  
 
   C       F        C                F  
We cuss we smoke we laugh at Tater's jokes  
 
Tell one Jim  
   You know you're old when your wife says honey do you want to run   
   upstairs and make love and your answer is I cannot do both  
 
    C                          G  
The minor vices man we know em well  
      C           F  
We've closed down bars  
      C             F  
We've lusted in our hearts  
    C                            G  
Our Ex's think we oughta burn in hell  
        F                             G  
But the devil he won't notice when we die  
         F               G              C  
Don't ya figure he's got bigger fish to fry  
             F               G              C  
Yea don't ya figure he's got bigger fish to fry  
 
Pass the tarter sauce
