_ _ [Am] Rich Ramirez died in a natural cause, his god damn top was sweet, I broke into his house
A bunch of people was dead, broke shit on the skin and left him
They finally got him and he went to San Juan
His last murderer was south of San Francisco, a guy named Peter Pan from the town of San Mateo
A little girl in the tenderloin was his first, standing alone in your room he took a dollar from her fist
His last days were at the Brisbill Hotel, was really nice talking when I went and rang the bell
The doorman buzzed me, said you're just like them all, gave me a [Dm] key and a [A] black cat let me down
[C] Had a flight today from Boston to Cleveland, got a death in the family, gotta do some grieving
Lost a relative and it's eating me up, and [F] I make him real bad and [Am] I need a little love
Rich Ramirez died and died in natural [C] cause, these [Dm] things mark [Am] time and make us pause
And think about we were kids, scared to tap on the window, what's under the bed and what's under the pillow
And the Jim Jones massacre got in our heads, and the TV headlines that was Presley's death
And the Ida Toledo mania I shit heads, and Ronald Reagan died from bullets
While I'm there I'm gonna stroll through the old neighborhood, Rick stands my age and still lives with his mom
When he's not in jail for menacing, he's stalking the ride and bad checks, cocaine charges
Mark Denton had such a beautiful [C] smile, he always sat on [F] his porch
Passing [Am] the time and drinking the beer and smoking a pack until one day poor Mark had a heart attack
My friend Ben Scott, a good job as an electrician's sister, married the pool shark Jim Evans
And my next door neighbors whom I love so, and they love me too but they passed long ago
And if you walk just a few blocks down [C] Stahl, there's a house that's the [A] scariest of them [Am] all
A cute little pond with a sign for sale, but those sextons killed his wife with his hell
And I'm telling the truth, and if you don't believe me, pick up my old Carfield spouse's secrets
I had to fly from Cleveland to SFO, I got three months off until my next show
[C] Gonna [Am] spend time with my girl and make a record [C] this summer, [Am] fix my kitchen up in Irakwamer
[C] The [Am] headlines changed so rapidly, [C] that I [Am] came to the studio to work on something pretty
Then I saw the news on James Gandolfini while I was eating ramen and drinking green tea
The [E] Sopranos guy [Am] died at 51, [C] that's the same [Dm] age as the [Am] guy who's coming to play [C] drums
Don't [Am] like this, getting older stuff, [C] having to [E] pee 15 [F] times a day is [Am] bad enough
I got a nagging prostate and I got a bad [C] back, and when I [E] fuck too [F] much I feel [E] like I'm gonna [C] have a heart [E] attack
I woke [Am] up today, I saw the [C] headlines, an [Am] airline crash and two people died
And I'm at a barbecue in San Rafael, and everybody's drunk and feeling pretty well at 53
Ramirez died, but in 83, he was very much alive, he was the scariest killer in the band
He had a pentagram in the center of his seat
_ [Dm] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And everybody remember the paranoia when he stalked the suburbs of Southern California
And everybody remember where they were when they finally caught the Night Stalker
And I remember just where I was when Richard Ramirez died of a natural cause _ _ _ _
