First Verse:

[C] A you've been makin' your brags around town

That [G] you've been a lovin' my [C] man

But the [F] man I love, when he [C] picks up trash

He puts it in a garbage can

And [F] that's what a you look like to me

And [C] what I see's a [F] pity

Ya better [C] close your face and stay outta my way

If ya [G] don't wanna go to fist [C] city

Chorus:

If ya [F] don't wanna go to fist [C] city

Ya better [G] detour around my [C] town

'Cause [F] I'll grab you by the [C] hair a the head

And I'll [D] lift a you off a the [G] ground

[C] I'm not a sayin' my baby's a saint 'cause he ain't

N' that he won't cat around with a [F] kitty

I'm here to tell ya gal to lay [C] offa my man

If ya [G] don't wanna go to fist [C] city


Break: Riff as played in Intro, starting on the last C chord of the chorus


Second Verse, same chords as the first verse:

Come on and tell me what you told my friends
If you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
Since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew
If you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet
If you don't wanna eat
A meal that's called fist city

Chorus, then repeat last two lines of chorus to end:

I'm here to [F] tell ya gal to lay [C] offa my man

If ya [G] don't wanna go to fist [C] city
