Cm C#m

C#m
Standing by the curate,
E
Hat over his eyes,
F#
Smokes drifts slowly from him,
F#m     G
Looking kind and wise.

A
Seen him in the papers,
Ab
Murdered by Malone,
G                          F#
Heard the bomber whisper,
                    F
Something about the phone.

Am
Watch out on the corner,
C
Standing by the rack,
F
Little Gringo told her,
C
Shot him in the back.

Dm
Now I'm shaking,
F
Yes I'm shaking,
Dm
Now I'm shaking,
E                   Fm
Cos I ain't got the knack.

Cm C#m

C#m
Colours seem most ______,
E
Hands against the wheel,
F#
Flowers for opinion,
F#m       G
Whiskey is up to deal.

A
Stalling in the warehouse,
Ab
Bowling alley too,
G                      F#
Look behind the jury,
                   F
Scared to point at you.

Am
Watch out on the corner,
C
Standing by the rack,
F
Little Gringo told her,
C
Shot him in the back.

Dm
Now I'm shaking
F
Yes I'm shaking
Dm
Now I'm shaking
E                   Fm
Cos I ain't got the knack.

Cm C#m

C#m
Round and round the city,
E
Taxes all fall down,
F#
Shot out in a Citroen,
F#m       G
East side of the town.

A
Waffle in a guinness
Ab
Tied between the bars,
G
Fifty fifty chances,
F#              F
Bulletproof all cars.

Am
Watch out on the corner,
C
Standing by the rack,
F
Little Gringo told her,
C
Shot him in the back.

Dm
Now I'm shaking,
F
Yes I'm shaking,
Dm
Now I'm shaking,
E                   Fm
Cos I ain't got the knack.

Cm C#m
