AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO




[Bb] There ain't nothin' [D7] I can do, [Gm] nor 
nothin' I can [D7] say, [G7] That folks don't [Dm7] cri[G7]ti[Cm]cize [G7] me. 
[Cm] But I'm gonna [G7] do just as I [Cm] want to any[C]way, [C7] I don't care 
if they all des[F#7]pise [F7] me. [Bb] If I should [D7] take a notion [Gm] To 
jump in[Eb]to the ocean, [Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] 
[C7] [F7] [Bb] Rather than [D7] persecute me, [Gm] I choose that [Eb] you would 
shoot me, [Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7] [Bb] 
If I should [D7] get the feelin' [Gm] To dance up[Eb]on the ceiling', [Bb] It 
ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7] [Bb] If I let my [D7] 
best companion [Gm] Drive me right in[Eb]to the canyon, [Bb] It ain't nobody's 
[F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7] [Bb] After all the [D7] way to do [Gm] 
is do just as you [D7] please, [G7] Regardless [Dm7] of [G7] their [Cm] talk[G7]in' 
[Cm] Often times the [G7] ones that talk will get [Cm] down on their [C] knees, 
[C7] And beg your pardon for their [F#7] squak[F7]in'. (sp?) [Bb] If I dis[D7]like 
my lover [Gm] And leave (him/her) [Eb] for another, [Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] 
business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7] [Bb] If I go to [D7] church on Sunday, [Gm] 
Then caba[Eb]ret on Monday, [Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. 
[G7] [C7] [F7] [Bb] If my friend ain't [D7] got no money [Gm] And I say, "Take 
[Eb] all mine honey," [Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] 
[C7] [F7] [Bb] If I lend (him/her) [D7] my last nickel [Gm] And it leaves me [Eb] 
in a pickle, [Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do.
