Copper
Harry Chapin       (klr)

D
   
G
   
D
   
G
If you were 
D
 looking for a way to 
G
 get me mad
It was a 
D
 sure fire way you 
G
 found
D
 Acting like a 
G
 half-wit fool, 
A
 laying your money 
A7
around
Well, I  
D
 came back to 
G
 tell you Lou,
^?bout 
D
 what you almost 
G
 did
Don^?t you 
A
 ever put the cash on the 
C
 counter, Lou,
F
 when I^?m 
C
 with my 
G
 kid

Yeah, the 
D
 kid^?s 13, he^?s 
G
 growin^? Lou, two years
And 
D
 he^?ll be bigger than 
G
 me
Still he 
D
 think^?s I^?m strong as a 
G
 blacksmith and
A
 straighter than the tall oak 
A7
 tree
I 
D
 raised him alone ten 
G
 years now,
since his 
D
 momma ran 
G
 away
Well, you 
A
 ain^?t gonna blow his 
C
 image of me
With a 
F
 stunt like you 
C
 pulled 
G
 today

chorus
G
 They took the copper right outta the penny, Lou
They got the 
D
 pig locked up in the pen
But you^?re 
E
 in big trouble with me, yes, you
If you 
A
 ever do that 
A7
 again
Ten 
D
 bucks a week 
D7
 protection
don^?t 
G
mean I can^?t knock you 
E
 down
You got to 
D
 treat me 
D/c#
 like a 
D/b
 livin^? 
D
 saint, Lou
G
 Whenever my 
G/f#
son^?s 
D
 around
D
   
G
   
D
   
G

Yeah, the 
D
 kid wants to be a 
G
 policeman, 
D
 just like 
G
 me
You 
D
 know he^?ll be a 
G
 good one,
the 
A
 way I started out to 
A7
 be
And he 
D
 just might end up 
G
 police chief,
Now 
D 
wouldn^?t that be something to 
G
 see
^?Cause then the 
A
 kid would kick right-
C
 off the force
All the 
F
 two-bit 
C
 grifters like 
G
 me  (chorus)

I guess it 
D
 was when my 
G
 old lady left me and
She 
D
 took off with a saleman 
G
 guy
I 
D
 started to see things 
G
 differently,
cut your 
A
 own slice outta the 
A7
 pie
Yeah, I 
D
 grew up and it came 
G
 clear to me,
all the 
D
 smart cops on the 
G
 make
You get a 
A
 silver badge not an 
C
 old tin star
F
 when you^?re 
C
 on the 
G
 take

G
 It^?s pimps and whores, punk gang wars,
D
 Robberies and homicides 
Bm
When you 
E
 walk the beat with the creeps on the street
Well, there 
A
 ain^?t no where to 
A7
 hide
I spent 
D
 half my life 
D7
 without no wife
Ridin^? 
G
 heard on the scum of the 
E
 earth
I learned the 
D
 tricks of
the 
D/c#
 trade from the 
D/b
 gutter 
D
 parade
And then I 
G
 prayed for 
G/f#
 all I^?m 
D
 worth
D
   
G
   
D
   
G

Don^?t you 
D
 know I appreciate the 
G
 money Lou,
D
 Cause it all goes into the 
G
 bank
And when I 
D
 send my kid to 
G
 college some day
He^?ll have 
A
 guys like you to 
A7
 thank
Yeah, 
D
 ten bucks a week on your 
G
 grocery store
Means you 
D
 don^?t have to worry ^?bout 
G
 crime
But 
A
 hold your money when the 
C
 kids with me,
You can 
F
 pay me 
C
 double next 
G
 time  (chorus)

Enjoy all.
