show how to play the chords with or without a capo in the original key.
 
transpose: - +3 (and "use flats")

[Verse] capo 3rd fret
There is a little lick or riff in the verse, which is played on an
electric guitar. Using a capo, it is possible to integrate this
lick into the accompaniment. Here’s a suggestion:

If you want to include the riff into your guitar accompaniment, this

(full band)
 
[Verse 1]
A man walks down the street
He says, Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
When the rest of my life is so hard!
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
 
[Bridge]
Bonedigger, Bonedigger,
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away from my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me!
You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
 
[Chorus]
If you'll be my bodyguard

I can be your long lost pal

I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me

You can call me Al
 
[Verse 2]
A man walks down the street
He says, Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention
And whoa, my nights are so long!
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role-model?
Now that my role - model is
 
[Bridge]
Gone, gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly, little bat-faced girl
All along, along
There were incidents and accidents
||
There were hints and allegations
 
[Chorus]
If you'll be my bodyguard
|||
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
|||
You can call me Al ... Call me Al ...

[Verse 3]
A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the
 
[Bridge]
Sound, the sound
Cattle in the marketplace
||
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning into infinity
He says, Amen! and Hallelujah!

If you'll be my bodyguard

I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me

You can call me Al ... call me ...
