Chords by Sam Booker (booker@elvice.stortek.com)
INTRO: C
I[C]'m walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue
G[F]ot my hand in my pocket
I'm thinkin' 'bout you
I ain't [C]hurtin' nobody[G]
I ain't hurtin' no [C]one
Th[C]ere's three hundred men
In the state of Tennessee
T[F]hey're waiting to die
They won't never be free
I ain't hu[C]rtin' nobody[G]
I ain't hurtin' no o[C]ne
S[G]ix million seven hundred thousand
And thirty-three li[F]ghts [C]on
Y[G]ou think someone could take the time
To sit down and listen to the words of [F]my s[C]ong
[C]At the beach in Indiana
I was nine years old
[F]Heard Little Richard singing "Tutti Frutti"
>From the top of a telephone pole
I wasn't hur[C]tin' nobody[G]
I wasn't hurtin' no o[C]ne
T[C]here's roosters laying chickens
And chickens layin' eggs
[F]Farm machinery eating
People's arms and legs
I ain't hu[C]rtin' nobody[G]
I ain't hurtin' no o[C]ne
[G]Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use
the wr[F]ong rh[C]yme
Y[G]ou'd think that waitress could get my order
Right the fi[F]rst t[C]ime
INSTRUMENTAL:
[C] [F] [C] [G] [C]  
S[C]he's sitting on the back steps
Just shucking that corn
T[F]hat gal's been grinning
Since the day she was born
She ain't hu[C]rtin' nobody[G]
She ain't hurtin' no o[C]ne
[C]I used to live in Chicago
Where the cold wind blows
[F]I delivered more junk mail
Than the junkyard would hold
I wasn't hur[C]tin' nobody[G]
I wasn't hurtin' no o[C]ne
Y[G]ou can fool some of the people part of the time
In a rock and r[F]oll s[C]ong
F[G]ifty million Elvis Presley Fans
Can't be a[F]ll wr[C]ong
[C]I'm walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue
[F]Got my hand in my pocket, Baby
I'm thinkin' 'bout you
I ain't hur[C]tin' nobody[G]
I ain't hurtin' no o[C]ne
ENDING:
I ain't hu[C]rtin' nobody[G]
I ain't hurtin' no o[C]ne
[C] [F]  
Hu[C]rtin' nobody[G]
Hurtin' no o[C]ne
[C] [F]  
Hu[C]rtin' nobody[G]
Hurtin' no o[C]ne
[C] [F]  
Hu[C]rtin' nobody[G]
Hurtin' no o[C]ne[FADE]
