AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO
Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins
#A bunch of people were requesting this after EC's VH1 rehearsal show.
#This is actually an older version -- EC changed around a bunch of the
#lyrics and the structure a little bit, and I think I actually prefer the
#original. His take is also half a step off of this (though I can't
#remember if his is higher or lower).
#Share and enjoy, as always.

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

to the ocean,
Bb
It ain't nobody's

business if I
Bb
do.
G7
C7
F7
Bb
Rather than

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

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

Gm
And leave (him/her)

G7
C7
F7
Bb
If my friend ain't
D7
got no money
Gm
And I say, "Take

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.
