Head Inspector Tab

"Head Inspector"

This was figured out from the solo acoustic version from Going Back 
to Brooklyn. The only tricky part is the bend, which starts on the 
5th fret and goes up 1/2 a step and back down fairly quickly.


Open C tuning (CGCGCE)

Some damn fool knockin' at my door
Broke down, poppin' 'round
I saw a man I never saw before
Broke down, poppin' 'round
"I'm the head inspector," that's what he said
Broke down, poppin' 'round
"Bend down while I inspect your head"
Broke down, poppin' 'round

He's got a stethoscope and a fluoroscope
He'll make your horoscope to the buzz elope
Wash your brain with laundry soap
Broke up or broke down
Dead broke, poppin' 'round

I told him, "I know what you'll find"
Broke down, poppin' 'round
I got stained glass windows in my mind
Broke down, poppin' 'round
I got a ton of jelly and a lotta jam
Broke down, poppin' 'round
And the women all love me when I say shazam
Broke down, poppin' 'round

Never did the thingy in an air raid drill
And I never took the trouble to write my will
Ain't good lookin' but I'm hard to kill
All broke up or broke down
Dead broke, poppin' 'round

I wear a funny plantis hat
Look like the Wolfman gone to fat
I'm a pretty good man for all of that
All broke up, broke down
Oh, dead rope, poppin' 'round

Yeah
