[Verse 1]
A                        D   A
How you get a rude and a reckless?
          A                 G   A
Don't you be so crude and a feckless
         A                 F#m  
You been drinking brew for breakfast
A    D      A                                A  D    A
Rudie can't fail                                   We reply

I know that my life make you nervous

But I tell you that I can't live in service
         A                       F#m 
Like the doctor who's born for a purpose
A    D      A                                A  D    A

[Chorus]
  A              E       F#m
I went to the market, to realise my soul

What I need, I just don't have
A          E                F#m
First they curse, then they press me 'till I hurt
D  E        A
Rudie can't fail

A                        D  A
First you must cure your temper
     A                 G A
Then find a job in the paper
    A                  F#m 
You need someone for a saviour
A    D      A                            A  D    A    
Rudie can't fail                               We reply
A                       D   A
Now we get a rude and a reckless
        A                       G    A
We been seen lookin' cool an' a speckless
        A                 F#m  
We been drinking brew for breakfast
A    D      A                            A  D  A   
Rudie can't fail

[Chorus]
  A              E       F#m
I went to the market, to realise my soul
              A    E             F#m
'Cause what I need, I just don't have
A          E                F#m
First they curse, then they press me 'till I hurt

Rudie can't fail
