Careful Man Jim Croce
(Intro: Blues)
E—C#7—F#7—B7—E
[E]I don’t gamble, I don’t fight,[E7]
[A]I don’t be hangin’ in the bars at night;[F#7]
Yeah, I [E]used to be a fig[C#7]hter, but now I[F#7] am a wis[B7]er man[E]
[E]I don’t drink, much, I don’t smo[E7]ke,
[A]I don’t hardly mess around with no dope;[F#7]
Yeah, I [E]used to be a pro[C#7]blem, but now I[F#7] am a car[B7]eful man[E] [E7]

(Chorus)
But if you used[A] to wanna see a commotion,
You should’ve se[E]en the man that I used to be;
I was troubl[A]e in perpetual motion,
[F#7]Trouble with a capital “T”[B7]
Stayin’ [E]out late, havin’ fun,[E7]
And shot off eve[A]ry single shot in my gun;[F#7]
Yeah, I [E]used to be a lov[C#7]er but n[F#7]ow I am an older[B7] man[E]
(2nd end for chorus)
Yeah, I used to be a terror, but now I am a tired man
I didn't tab out the intro, but I'll work on it. This is a fun blues to play with that
Croce irony. --Best, Mo Love
