Head Inspector by Dave Van Ronk
Head Inspector
Tuning (this tab): Open C [ C G C G C E ]
This was figured out from the solo acoustic version from Going Back
to Brooklyn. The only tricky part is the bend, which starts on the
5th fret and goes up 1/2 a step and back down fairly quickly.

Some damn fool knockin' at my door
Broke down, poppin' 'round
I saw a man I never saw before
Broke down, poppin' 'round
"I'm the head inspector," that's what he said
Broke down, poppin' 'round
"Bend down while I inspect your head"
Broke down, poppin' 'round
He's got a stethoscope and a fluoroscope
He'll make your horoscope to the buzz elope
Wash your brain with laundry soap
Broke up or broke down
Dead broke, poppin' 'round
I told him, "I know what you'll find"
Broke down, poppin' 'round
I got stained glass windows in my mind
Broke down, poppin' 'round
I got a ton of jelly and a lotta jam
Broke down, poppin' 'round
And the women all love me when I say shazam
Broke down, poppin' 'round
Never did the thingy in an air raid drill
And I never took the trouble to write my will
Ain't good lookin' but I'm hard to kill
All broke up or broke down
Dead broke, poppin' 'round
I wear a funny plantis hat
Look like the Wolfman gone to fat
I'm a pretty good man for all of that
All broke up, broke down
Oh, dead rope, poppin' 'round
