CHORUS

I'm the nightwatchman


I make the rounds


I'm the nightwatchman


I gotta keep my nose to the ground




VERSE 1
(play a variation between B and E the whole verse)

**there's a slide guitar playing in the background, but I can't make it out over the main guitar


Honey this ain't no job for a man like me


I got potential, I could be just what you need


You got to think about the pros and cons


You could be right, you could be wrong



CHORUS
(repeat both licks)


I'm the nightwatchman


I am security


I'm the nightwatchman


How safe do you wanna be?


VERSE 2
(repeat same chords as before)


I sit around at night and listen to the radio


If I get real bored I might have a little smoke


Yeah I got a permit to wear this .38


But listen my life's worth more than the minimum wage



A, G, A, E

Begin main lick again


CHORUS


I'm the nightwatchman


I make the rounds


I'm the nightwatchman


I gotta keep my nose to the ground



(E the whole way through till the end)
I'm the nightwatchman


I am security


I'm the nightwatchman


How safe do you wanna be?



I'm the nightwatchman (repeat 2x)

How safe do you wanna be?
