GVerse 1
I had a gun pointed at my head on several occasions G Yeah, Nadine I was scared Something about a black man with a machine gun G Make you wish you said your prayers C It was Nigeria G The year was Nineteen Sixty-Nine D I was teaching criminology G Played a little guitar on the side
Verse 2
In Apache Pass, Prince Rupert G Indian Jack puts a gun to my head He said, "How do you like it now gentlemen? G How’s your blue eyed boy, Mr Dead?" C It was Canada this time G The year was Nineteen Seventy-One D I was performing at the Club Zanzibar G In the neon world of knives and guns
Chorus
Em Oh, excuse me if I’m boring you, dear listener G Accept my humble apology Am You may think I’m just a folk singer, no D G I’m a master in the art of criminology
Verse 3
When Picasso died, the Indians cried G In a Prince George motel room We were drunker than a thousand white men G Playing lumber camp saloon C It was Canada again G The year was Nineteen Seventy-Three D There were grizzly bears walking down main street G What an amazing sight to see
Verse 4
Well, the devil rides a cubist horse G The devil he’s got angles But god is an expressionist G He got the devil strangled C Down in purgatorian limbo in hell G Ahh, them southern rip joints just like that D God’s waiting room is full of painters and poets G And old black jazz saints in pork pie hats
Chorus
Em Well, excuse me if I’m boring you, dear listener G Accept my humble apology Am You may think I’m some jive folk singer, no D G I’m a master in the art of criminology

Verse 5
So, I got off a plane in Nigeria G It was Nineteen Sixty-Nine Arrested by Ton Ton Macoute G Taking photos was a war zone crime C They were gonna hack me up with machetes G A US ambassador, come home, paid my bribe D So, I played guitar with Victor Uwaifo G Taught a little criminology on the side
Chorus
Em Yeah, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it G No regrets, no surrender, no apology Am I know a little bit about a lot of things D G I’m a master in the art of criminology
Chorus
Em Yeah, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it G No regrets, no surrender, no apology Am I know a little bit about a lot of things D G I’m a master in the art of criminology
