Somebody's On Your Case

Ann Peebles


Tom: C

Dm    F     Dm              F Dm F 
If your man always leave home
Dm    F     Dm                         F Dm F 
Say he's going down to the corner store
Dm    F     Dm                F Dm F 
All decked out in his best shoes
Dm    F     Dm      F Dm F 
And  his fancy knit suit
Dm    F     Dm             F Dm F 
Looking good from  head to toe


[Bridge 1]
Bm
Spend two whole hours
A
Buying a little bread and meat
G
Yet come home empty handed
A
Looking tired and beat
F
If this has happened to you
G
Tell you what you better do
G7
Get out your 'rithmetic
A
And put together two and two


[Chorus]
Dm    F     Dm         F Dm F 
Somebody's on your case
Dm    F     Dm          F Dm F 
You gotta get on your job
Dm    F     Dm          F Dm F 
(Get on it)

Dm    F     Dm          F Dm F 
(Get on it)


[Verse 2]
Dm    F     Dm          F Dm F 
Listen girl...
Dm    F     Dm              F Dm F 
If your man call home one day
Dm    F     Dm               F Dm F 
Say he won't be home for supper
Dm    F     Dm          F Dm F 
Cos he'll be working late
Dm    F           Dm              F Dm F 
His boss calls to say get well John
Dm    F     Dm          F Dm F 
Lord knows he ain't sick
Dm    F          Dm               F Dm F 
He's been taking secret sick leave
Dm    F     Dm          F Dm F 
Another one of his tricks


[Bridge 2]
Bm
If he come home
A
With that same old line
G
Telling you he's tired
A
From working overtime
F
Don't get uptight
G
Don't put him out tonight

What you better do, girl
A
Is get your own thing right

It might be Mary

And it might be Sue

Somebody's surely
