Am                      Dm
Hey, mister police man, please don’t take my stuff
Am                  E
It cost me too much money and it 
E/F#     F/G    F/Ab
Probably  ain’t  enough to get me
Am                    Dm
Through election day, didn’t I hear you say
       Am            E            Am
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright


You know it wouldn’t weigh a pound, it’s hardly worth your time
My lucks been bad, the telephone just kept on pullin’ me down and
There might be a burglary, why don’t you go and see
Be alright, be alright, be alright

(Instrumental chorus with bridge)

Hey, mister police man, please don’t take my stuff
It cost me too much money and it probably ain’t enough to get me
Through election day, didn’t I hear you say
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

Hey, mister police man, please don’t take my stuff
It cost me too much money and it probably ain’t enough to get me
Through election day, didn’t I hear you say
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

Hey, mister police man, please don’t take my stuff
It cost me too much money and it probably ain’t enough to get me
Through election day, didn’t I hear you say
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
