Lyrics Below
****Original Key Bb -- I show it here in G to keep it simple
Channel: CGDG CGDG /// ////
(Verse 1)
G C
My Name is Frankie Speed and I am my own boss
G D
It's a high-risk occupation to steer clear of the law
G
But I'm the best at what I do
C
Yes I'm right where I belong
C G C G
I'm standing here, it's shining there
C D G
I'm in I'm done I'm gone
(Chorus)
C
But, It's more than just a job to me
C G D G
And that's what keeps me coming back
C
It's pure and simple ecstasy
C G D G
I love stealin' Cadillac's
C G D G
I love stealin Cadillac's
Channel: CGDG CGDG /// ///
(Verse 2)
G C
I used to ride with my granddad in his rusty runabouts
C G D
and when a Cadillac drove by, you know he'd always point 'em out
G
But he never got to ride in one
C
And it seemed like such a sin
C G C G
So when I pick one out on a Saturday night
C D G
I always think of him
(Chorus)
(Channel)
(Verse 3)
Getting caught's for criminals and jail time is for crooks
My work is clean professional I'm strictly by the book
You gotta' know who all the players are
But, if you think I'm lying
Go ask the Sheriff of Monroe County
How he likes the car he drives
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
G D C G
It's my job, I can't deny it
G D C G D
But happiness you just can't buy it
(Verse 4)
I know you might be thinkin' that what I do ain't right
It's hard for folks to understand the way I live my life
But before your mind starts judging me
Look closely once again
And make sure that part of you don't wish
You could step inside my skin
(Chorus)(Channel)
We'll, here you go. On the recording the guitar is in standard tuning Capo'ed at 3rd fret. Its just cowboy chords the key of Bb. I show it here in G to try to keep it simple. The intro and instrumental channel are just the chords from the last two lines of the chorus. Rock on, and don't blame me if you to turn to a life of crime.
