[Intro]
E B7 E

[Verse 1]
E B7
I've got a room on the fourth floor of a house on Cattle Street
E
It's lonesome, but I've got a friend that's living there with me
E E7 A
He walks on the ceiling and I walk on the rug
E B7 E
It sounds crazy, but my friend is just a bug

[Chorus]
B7 E
Hello up there, little black bug, ain't you got a family?
F#7 B7
You must be crazy, you're taking chances moving in with a guy like me
E E7 A
They say women sometimes do that if a love can make them fall
E B7 E
But there ain't no woman crazy as the black bug on the wall

[Verse 2]
E B7
I came home high just last Friday, tried to kill you with a swat
E
Now, that's just like me when I'm drinking, kill the only friend I got
E E7 A
But I think you understand me and that's more than I deserve
E B7 E
Little black bug, you've sure got a lotta nerve

[Verse 3]
E B7
Sometimes, I just lie here and I smoke a cigarette
E
Blow some smoke up on the ceiling, you sure get a charge from that
E E7 A
If I only knew your birthday, we'd just have a little spree
E B7 E
Little black bug, you could have a drink with me

[Chorus]
B7 E
Hello up there, little black bug, ain't you got a family?
F#7 B7
You must be crazy, you're taking chances moving in with a guy like me
