"Mean Streak" - by John Gorka from "Land Of The Bottom Line" 1990
Capo on 2nd fret  
Basically a pretty straight forward blues progression, with the riff of the 
E7 chord form running down the neck at the end of each verse and chorus.

E
No money coming in, it's all going out

    A
I'm standing on the corner in the shadow of doubt

    E
The streetlight's broken and my heart is gone
                                          05x430  04x320    03x210
A                        B             E    E7     C#m6    Esus4/5+   E   B 
Fate is coming with it's headlights on

(Chorus)
           A
I've got a mean streak, it's not a dotted line

       E
It's a matter of fact, it's piece of my mind
 
       A 
It's a mean streak, it's improved and new

B                    A               E   E7     C#m6    Esus4/5+   E   B 
Hit me once and I'll show it to you


Love and money almost the same
The less you make, the more you're to blame
The more you have, the more you desire
You cheat someone and your playing with fire

(Chorus)

I used to keep my temper tied
Right under wraps, riding by my side
Now I tend to let it free
When the ways of the world are getting wise with me

(Chorus, repeat 1st verse)
 
         A              
Although I don't know how I'll manage

        B                         E   E7     C#m6    Esus4/5+   E  B 
I won't let you take advantage of me

           A 
Although I don't know how I'll manage

        B                         E   E7     C#m6    Esus4/5+   E  
I won't let you take advantage of me
