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
