[C]
Oh yeah, [Cm] oh yeah, oh yeah, [C] I said oh yeah.
[Cm]
[C] I have no free will, I sang as I flew about the murder.
Mrs.
Richard Holmes, she screamed, well you really [Fm] should have heard her.
[Cm] I sang and I laughed, howled and I wept, [C] I panted and I [Cm] squealed.
I blew a hole in [C] Mrs.
Richard Holmes [Cm] who used her husband as [F] a shield.
[Fm]
[C] He screamed, you are an evil man, and I paused a while to [Fm] wonder.
If I [C] have no free will, then how can I be [Cm] morally culpable, [Fm] I wonder.
[C] I shot Richard Holmes in the stomach, I said it felt good to take your life.
[Bb] I'm [C] not sure, but I think that he thanked me as he lay down next to [Fm] his wife.
[C] It's nice to be nice, I replied to him, he gave a little cough.
Oh yeah, it's nice to be nice, and I neatly aimed and blew his head completely.
[F] [Cm]
I've lived in this town for thirty years, and to no one I am a stranger.
And I put new bullets in my gun, chamber upon chamber.
[Fm]
[C] When I turned my gun on a bird like Mr.
Brooks, [Cm] I thought of St.
Francis and his sparrows.
And as I shot down [C] the youthful Richard's son, it was [Cm] Sebastian I thought [Fm] of and his arrow.
[Cm]
[C]
[Cm]
[C]
[Cm] I said I want to introduce myself, and I'm glad that you all came.
And I leapt up upon the bar, and I shouted [Bb] out my [Fm]
name.
[Cm] While Jerry [C] bellows, he hugged his stool, closed his eyes, and shrugged and [Cm] laughed.
And with an ashtray as big as a really [Bb] bloody [Cm] big brick, I split his [F] skull in half.
[C] This hurts me more than it hurts you, I said, and I sat on the bar and cried.
And for a strange moment, no one moved or spoke, and we all sat like that for a [F] while.
[Eb] [C] It's nice to be nice, I said again, and well it is, and that's a fact.
[Bb] I [C] smiled at Henry [G] Davenport, I think Henry Davenport smiled [F] back.
[Fm] Well [Am] from the [Cm] position I was sitting, the strangest thing I ever saw.
The bullet entered through the top of Henry's chest and blew his bowels out [F] on the floor.
[C] [Cm] Well I floated down the counter, [C] showing no [G] remorse.
I [C] shot a hole in Kathleen Carpenter, [Cm] I recently [Fm] divorced.
[Cm] The remorse I felt, the remorse I had, clung to everything.
[C] From the raven's hair upon my head, [Cm] to the feathers on my [Fm] wings.
[C] Life is grand, I shouted, but death is just the best.
[Cm] And I glided through the bodies, and killed the fat man, [F] Vincent [Fm] Quaiz.
[C] Sat quietly in his chair, [Cm] a lonely, commie child.
And I raised [C] the gun up to [F] his head, [C] [Fm] executioner style.
[Cm] He made no attempt to resist, so fat and dull and lazy.
[C] Didn't know I live in your street, I [Bb] cried, and he [Cm] looked at me like [Fm] I was crazy.
[C] Oh he said [B] I had [C] no idea, he grew as quiet as a mouse.
[Cm] And the roar of the pistol when it went off, it blew the roof right out [Fm] the hat. Why?
