[Opening]
[G]There ain’t nothin’ [B7]I can do, [Em]or nothin’ I can [B7]say,
[E7]That folks don’t [Bm7]cri[E7]ti[Am]cize [E7]me.
[Am]But I’m gonna [E7]do just as I [Am]want to any[A]way,
[A7]I don’t care if they all des[Eb7]pise [D7]me.

[verse 2]
[G]If I should [B7]take a notion
[Em]To jump in[C]to the ocean,
[G]It ain’t nobody’s [Am]business [D7]if I [G]do. [E7] [A7] [D7]

[verse 3]
[G]If I go to [B7]church on Sunday,
[Em]Then I shimmy [C]down on Monday,
[G]It ain’t nobody’s [Am]business [D7]if I [G]do, [Am]if I [D7]do

[verse 4]
[G]If my friend ain’t [B7]got no money
[Em]And I say, “Take [C]all mine honey,”
[G]It ain’t nobody’s [Am]business [D7]if I [G]do, [Am]do [D7]do

[verse 5]
[G]If I lend her [B7]my last nickel
[Em]And it leaves me [C]in a pickle,
[G]It ain’t nobody’s [D7]business if I [G]do, [Am]if I [D7]do

[verse 6]
[G]I would rather [B7]my gal would hit me
[Em]Than to haul right [C]up and quit me.
[G]It ain’t nobody’s [Am]business [D7]if I [G]do, [Am]do [D7]do

[Closing]
[G]I know that she won’t [B7]call no copper
[Em]If she gets beat up [C]by her poppa.
[G]It ain’t nobody’s [D7]business if I [G]do, [F#m]Lord [E7]no.
Well, it [Am]ain’t nobody’s [D7]business if I [G]do.
