[Fm] His father was a [Eb] drinker, [Ab] and his mother cried in bed
[Fm] Folding John [Bb] Wayne's t [Eb]-shirt when [Ab] the swing set hit his head
[Bb] The neighbors, they adored [Eb] him [Cm] for his humor and [Ab] his conversation
[Fm] Look underneath [Ab] the house [Eb] there, [Cm] find the view
Living things, riding [Ab] fast in their sleep, [Fm] oh the dead
Twenty -seven [Eb] people, [Ab] even more
They were boys with their cars, summer jobs, [Gm] oh my [Fm] god

[Fm] And on his [Ab] best [Eb] behavior, in [Ab] a dark room on the bed
He kissed [F] them all
He [Ab] killed ten thousand people, [Eb] with [Cm] the slight of his [Ab] hand
