[E]I don't need no one's opinion
On the matter concerning my dress.
I was raised in a clinic down in Oklahoma,
There were many things I did not possess.
[A]I never complained, because my father said,
"Son you'll get your chance before you're my age".
Then he [E]took me upstairs and gave me this suit
Written all over his face
He said, "[B]Others may come and others may go,
But that s[A]uit will be around wherever you're goin'"
[E]Three button hand me down[A]
[E]Three button hand me down[A]

[E]I had my fair share of neat women,
But they came between me and my suit.
That was a filly from Boston, a barmaid from Houston,
Not forgetting the one in Detroit.
They said, "We [A]like you boy and we think you're sweet,
But can't you lose your suit?"
I said, [E]"No, no, no, no, you can't do that to me"
I remember what my father said:
He said, "[B]Others may come and others may go,
But that s[A]uit will be around wherever you're goin'"
[E]Three button hand me down, [A]ha ha,
[E]Three button hand me down[A]
(simple, bluesy solo)
[E]I've never been a tidy dresser
And the fold in my trousers it ain't straight.
Still I know a good cloth when I see one.
That's why I'm clad in this gray flannel suit.
[A]Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor
And get myself a smooth outfit.
Then I [E]remember what my father said to me.
I'll make you from the open road
He said, "[B]Others may come and others may go,
But that s[A]uit will be around wherever you go"
[E]Three button hand me down,[A]
[E]Three button hand me down[A]

If you want to play along with the Black Crowes' live version of this
song, you'll just have to play the exact same thing one step lower.
E->D A->G B->A simple enough
