(Intro)
C  C/G C/A C/B
 
 
(Verse 1) 
C                            C/D C/E  F
Nasty Dan was the meanest man I       ever knew
       G                  G7               C
He'd stomp and scream and be real mean the whole day through
     C                                         C/D C/E F
He'd frown a bunch he ate nails for lunch and he'd     never laugh
     G                                             G7     C
He'd growl and yell and I heard tell that he never took a bath

(Chorus) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
       F               C                G         G7    C
Nasty Dan was a nasty man hard to understand that Nasty Dan
 
 
(Verse 2) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
      C                      C/D C/E  F
Now Nasty Dan was a nasty man    the whole day long
      G                     G7                    C
He'd go where he could he'd try real good to make things go wrong
     C                          C/D C/E   F
He'd jump for joy when a little boy would trip and fall
          G                                            G7     C
And the only words that he ever said were I don't like you at all

(Chorus) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
      F               C                G          G7    C
Nasty Dan was a nasty man hard to understand that Nasty Dan
 
 
(Bridge) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
C
Now a real interestin' thing that I want you to know about is this here
C
because its the most important thing, it concerns a girl, and things like that
 
 
(Verse 3) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
C  C/G C/A C/B C                                  F
           Now Nasty Pearl was a nasty girl that met Dan somehow
         G                                          C
She said you're like me, rotten as can be let's get married now
        C                                     C/D C/E F
So they went and they did and had a nasty kid and I   must confess
     G7 *                   G7                        G7
That Dan pretty much leaves everyone alone now and he doesn't bother anybody
   G7                  G7           G7
Anymore 'cause he just lives in his nasty ol' house
         G7                     G7            G     G/A  G/B  C
With his nasty ol' wife and his nasty  kid in nasty happ -i - ness
C C/D C/E  F                C           C/B  C/A G          G7    C
   Nas-ty  Dan he's a nasty man hard to un - der stand that Nasty Dan
