From: TRANSCONTINENTAL HOBBYHORSE 
 Mr. Bad Example
 by Warren Zevon
 as it appears on the album "Learning to Flinch"
 Faithfully transcribed by Jeremy Sarna
 E                                        B7
 I started as an altar boy working in the church
 B7                                        E
 Learning all my holy moves and doing some research
 E                                              A7
 Which led me to a cash box labelled "Children's Fund"
 A7                   E                B7              E
 I left the coins and tucked the bills inside my cummerbund
 
 I got a part time job at my father's carpet store
 Laying tackless stripping and housewives by the score
 I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane
 and auctioned off every last Naugahyde divan
 
 I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins
 I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
 I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth
 I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross
 
 CHORUS:
 
     A7        E         B7           E
 I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
    A7            E                B7                 E
 I like to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
     A7        E      B7             E   
 I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
      A7           E              B7         E
 I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy
 
 Of course I went to law school, took a law degree
 Counselled all my clients to plead insanity
 Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald
 Where very few are chosen and fewer still are called
 
 Then on to Monte Carlo to play chemin de faire
 I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
 I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
 Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute
 
 Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
 Headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?
 Fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
 Flipping through the want ads sipping Fosters in the shade
 
 I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
 To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
 But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
 Whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot
 
 CHORUS
 
 I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
 Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
 I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
 And I'll see you in the next life, wake me up for meals!
