I went to Denver,

late last fall
E G A
I went to do my job,
E G A
yeah I didn't break any law
E G A
We worked a hipper place,
E G A
like many in our land
E G A
They couldn't bust the place,
A7 A
and so they got the band

`Cause the police in Denver
No, they don't want none of them
A A7
long hairs hanging around
E E7 D
And that's the reason why, woo,
they want to tear Canned

Heat's reputation down

It's a shame the Man in Denver,
