Verses:

E                A   E
Someone lights a cigarette

      A      E    F#m
While riding in a car

E            A       E
Some ol' guy takes a swig

    A      E        F#m
And passes back the jar

B                   A    E
But where they were last night

A      E   F#m
No-one can remember

C#m          A
Somebody got murdered

     B               E
Goodbye, for keeps, forever


E        C#m       A
Somebody       got murdered

E         F#m        A
Somebody's      dead forever

And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill

Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperse
No-one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it' left me with a touch

Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever

/*
Now play the intro riff above these words:
*/

Sounds like murder!
Those shouts!
Are they drunk down below?

It's late, and my watch stopped
Some time ago
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
Are they drunk down below?
