[E] Who didn't [Dbm] even speak to [Abm] the people at the table [E] who [Dbm] just cleaned [Abm] up all the food from the table?
[E] And emptied [Dbm] the [Abm] ashtrays on a whole other level
[E] Got killed [Dbm] by a blow, [Ab] lay slain by a [Abm] cane that [Dbm] sailed through the air [Ab] and came down through the [Abm] room

_ In the [Dbm] courtroom of honor [Ab] the judge pounded his gavel
[E] To show that [Dbm]
all's equal [Abm] and that the courts are on the level and [E] that the strings [Dbm] in the books
[Abm] Aren't pulled and persuaded [E] and that [Dbm] even the nobles get [Abm] properly [B] handled
[E] [Dbm] Once that the cops [Abm] have chased after and caught him [E] and that the [Dbm] ladder of [Abm] law has no top and no bottom
