Alice Cooper - Give the kid a break

This one is kinda tricky with the timing, so you kinda have to know what your doing, but 
chords are all there. p.s. this was a hard song to tab


Don't�     know why I'm
down here
F
 Must be something I said
               F#7           C
Or some small imperfection
E             Am C7/G F          D/F#
In my soul or in my head
          D7                G       F#7 G
Don't know why I'm down here
Don't reserve to roast or bake
I'm fighting off slanderous allegations
Why don't you give the kid a break?
G                                           C    F    C
 Don't you think maybe we could talk this over
E               Am
You're a reasonable man
              C                        D D# E
Could we discuss my grave situation
                 Am                                     G
I'm a miserable man
         F#*
And I'm in the frying pan
       D            G

Chorus:
Give the kid a break
                       C    -  B  -  Em  -  G
Give me one good reason why I should
All right, all right, so I made a few mistakes
But for heaven's sake
Watch your language, Kid.
OK, OK, don't get hot

Don't�
 question my judgement
                     F
He only reaped what he sowed
             F#7                    C
He cast his pearls before swine
E                Am      C7/G   F           
  D/F#
And that's good enough for me
                          D7              G   F#7 G

Solo  (Verse  chord progression)

I don't want to talk it over
Even tho' I'm a reasonable man
Sonny, from over here
Looks like you're in no position to bargain
You're a convicted man
You're right in the frying pan
Give the kid a break
Please give me a break
Give the kid a break
Nah nah, I don't think so, man
Come on, you know I got what it takes
Can't you give me a break?
Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over
Ok, don't give the kid a break
Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side
No they don't
Give the kid a break
Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals
Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal
Isn't there anything I can say
Or some kind of fine I can pay
Something
Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said (I'm sorry)
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
It might be some infection
It might be a small imperfection or a clear case of misdirection
It must be a small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Give the kid a break
