"Not If It Pleases Me"

Blues in F (capo at 1)

Instrumental verse

E E7
If I should stumble down the street
A F#7
Pay no attention just jump my feet yeah
E B7 E F#7 B7
You can't stop me not if it pleases me.

E E7
And if I should steal your only girl-child
A F#7
Don't you worry mama just drive a while
E B7 E F#7 B7
You can't stop me not if it pleases me.

CHORUS
A / A7 E / E7
Not if it pleases me not if it pleases me
A / A7
Not if it pleases me hey hey

Not if it please it please it pleases me.

But if I should lie to get a little high
Just pass me another don't you ask me why
'Cause you can't stop me not if it pleases me.

And if I should lie to get real high
Pass me another don't you dare ask me why
'Cause you can't stop me not if it pleases me.
