      Am  Am/G Am/F#
Not guilty
     B7              Em
For getting in your way
               B7                 E  E7
While you're trying to steal the day
       Am Am/G Am/F#
Not guilty
        B7                Em
And I'm not here for the rest
          B7                  G  Dm
I'm not trying to steal your vest

E7
I am not trying to be smart
                       Gsus4 Gm7
I only want what I can get
            Em7            Em6
I'm really sorry for your ageing head
     B7sus4            B7
But like you heard me said
Not guilty

Not guilty
For being on your street
Getting underneath your feet
Not guilty
No use handing me a writ
While I'm trying to do my bit

I don't expect to take your heart
I'm really sorry that you're underfed
But like you heard me said
Not guilty

Not guilty
For looking like a freak
Making friends with every Sikh
Not guilty
For leading you astray
On the road to Mandalay

I won't upset the apple cart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you've been misled
But like you heard me said
Not guilty
