E7    
He was a mean individual
                    E7
He had a heart like a bone
                  A7                         E7
He was a naturally crazy man and better off left alone
         E7                     E7
Well, he stopped one night at a traffic light
   A7                    Bbdim
And when that light turned green
         E/B     C#m7
He was a mean individual
F#m7          B7  E7  
Stranded in a limousine

[Verse 2]
              E7 
Hey, hey, hey, hey
                  E7
All the children on the street
                               A7
They come running out of their front doors
                                            E7  
Running out their back doors, flying on their feet
         E7        E7       
They said Mama oh, Papa oh
A7             Bbdim
See what I have seen
         E/B     C#m7  
There's a mean individual
F#m7          B7  E7  
Stranded in a limousine

[Chorus]
                   A7
Then everybody came running
              E7
Everybody said Lord, Lord
              Gdim
Everybody was gunning
                          G7/F#
they're gonna divvy up the reward
B7       E7             E7
A-then wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
         A7               Bbdim
There's a siren, a flashing light
       E/B      C#m7
But the mean individual
   F#m7            B7      E
Had vanished in the black of night

[Verse 3]
              E7 
Hey, hey, hey, hey
                        E7
They wondered where to begin
                    A7
'Cause he left that neighborhood
                                E7  
Just like a rattlesnake sheds its skin
         E7
Well they searched the roofs
        E7
and they checked out the groups
        A7              Bbdim
And then photographed the scene
      E/B     C#m7
Of the mean individual
F#m7          B7  E7  
Stranded in a limousine

[Instrumental]
E7
A7   E7       
A7  Bbdim  E/B C#m7  F#m7 B7 E7

[Chorus]
                   A7
Then everybody came running
               E7        
Everybody said Lord, Lord
              Gdim   
Everybody was gunning
                           G7/F#  
they're gonna divvy up the reward
B7       E7             
 A-then wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
         A7               Bbdim
There's a siren, a flashing light
      E/B      C#m7
But the mean individual
   F#m7            B7      E
Had vanished in the black of night
   E        C#m7
The mean individual
   F#m7            B7      E
Had vanished in the black of night
   E        C#m7
The mean individual
   F#m7            B7      E
Had vanished in the black of night
