I went to Denver,

x3

late last fall

x3

I went to do my job,

x3

yeah I didn't break any law

x3

We worked a hipper place,

x3

like many in our land

x3

They couldn't bust the place,

 and so they got the band

 `Cause the police in Denver

No, they don't want none of them

 long hairs hanging around

 And that's the reason why, woo,

they want to tear Canned

 Heat's reputation down

Gx3

x3

You people in Denver,

x3

will know what I mean

  Gx3

Yeah, the things I'm gonna tell ya,

x3

yeah, you've all heard and seen

  Gx3

You remember when a cop on the beat,

x3

used to rob and steal?

  Gx3

Today they're gone, but the others get it on,

 so you know just how I feel

 `Cause the police in Denver

No, they don't want none of them

 long hairs hanging around

 And that's the reason why, woo,

they want to tear Canned

 Heat's reputation down

Yeah, they try to tear it down, boy

They ain't gonna do it though

Gx3 (8x)

Let me tell you this just one more time

Gx3

  Gx3

Just one more thing I wanna tell ya,

  Gx3

before I go

x3

It's a shame the Man in Denver,

x3

has to lie and mistreat people so

x3

Now six months ain't no sentence,

x3

one year ain't no time

x3

When I hear from one to ten,

 it worries my troubled mind

 `Cause the police in Denver

No, they don't want none of them

 long hairs hanging around

 And that's the reason why, woo,

they want to tear Canned

 Heat's reputation down
