Gm G#m

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

B
Seen him in the papers,
D#
Murdered by Malone,
D                          C#
Heard the bomber whisper,
                    C
Something about the phone.

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

Em
Now I'm shaking,
C
Yes I'm shaking,
Em
Now I'm shaking,
B                   Cm
Cos I ain't got the knack.

Gm G#m

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

B
Stalling in the warehouse,
D#
Bowling alley too,
D                      C#
Look behind the jury,
                   C
Scared to point at you.

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

Em
Now I'm shaking
C
Yes I'm shaking
Em
Now I'm shaking
B                   Cm
Cos I ain't got the knack.

Gm G#m

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

B
Waffle in a guinness
D#
Tied between the bars,
D
Fifty fifty chances,
C#              C
Bulletproof all cars.

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

Em
Now I'm shaking,
C
Yes I'm shaking,
Em
Now I'm shaking,
B                   Cm
Cos I ain't got the knack.

Gm G#m

(it then alternates between C#m and Ab to the fade)
