G D A Bm
I went to the subway to play my guitar
G D A Bm
with the Chicago police I didn't get very far
G D A Bm
See, in my left pocket i had a bag
G D A Bm A
and nobody liked it when i offered a drag, i said
Bm A
"Come on boys, you know you all do it!"
G G A
But the look on their face said, "Man, you just blew it!"
Bm A
They took me to the station, took my photograph
G D/F# G A
And if you ever see it, I'll bet you'll laugh
G D A Bm
They call me "Dion 46501"
G D A Bm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G D A Bm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
G D A Bm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"
G D A Bm
Now back at the station they gave me a cell
G D A Bm
it was stinky, it was junky, it was ugly, it was cold as...
G D A Bm
"Hello, neighbors, HOWDLEE DOO!
G D A Bm A
Why does the City of Chicago have a beef with you?"

Bm A
One man said, "I mugged an old lady"
G G A
Another man said, "I Ain't killed nobody lately"
Bm A
Another man said, "I'm the devil and I'll steal your soul"
G D/F# G A
I said, "I'm a musician playing rock and roll"
G D A Bm
They call me "Dion 46501"
G D A Bm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G D A Bm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
G D A Bm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"
G D A Bm
Bm A
Late nights, early beers
G G A
I play, people cheer
Bm A
I just do what i do
G D/F# G A
and i don't think that i'm bothering you
G D A Bm
Well they let me out about a quarter to four
G D A Bm
they said, "Now keep this up, Dion, and we'll be seeing you some more!"
G D A Bm
On the way home I lost me way
G D A Bm A
The city was coming on the break of day
Bm A
All the people looked at me with a sneer
G G A
They said, "What the hell is he doing here?"
Bm A
I hopped a bus about a quarter to five
G D/F# G A
And I said to myself, "Thank God i'm alive!'
G D A Bm
Singing "Dion 46501"
G D A Bm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G D A Bm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
G D A Bm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"
