A#
Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party
D#
Here it's never ending, can't remember when it started
A#
Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail

Chorus:
    D#
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
    Cm                                                    A#
If being strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather
    Gm                               D#
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
         Cm                     A#
At the swingin' party down the line

Pound the prairie pavement, losing proposition
Quitting school and going to work and never going fishing
Water all around, I never learned how to swim now

Chorus:
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If being strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party
Here it's never ending, can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail

Chorus:
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If being strong is what you want
Then I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line
