_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ You know [F] the first time we played [Em] in this Bay Area, is that right?
_ There [E] weren't as many people as this. _
_ _ [G] No sir! _ _
I think we played at Davis College [Am] was the first time we were here. _ _
_ [F#] We played in somebody's common [C] room.
[G] There were about maybe 50, 50 people.
_ _ [E] _
And now we're here!
[F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
This song is about the cynical manipulation of large numbers of people.
It _ just happened. _ _ _
Once that you've decided on a killing _ _
First you make [Em] a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
[C]
Then you can kill the murder _ art
[Em] _
There really [Am] isn't any need [Bm] for [A#] bloodshed
[Em] You just do it [Am] with a little [Bm] more finesse
[A#] _
[Em] If you can [Am] slip a tablet [Bm] into [A#] someone's cafe
[F#] Forget a [F] voice and _ place
[A#] _
_ [Em] My, [F#m] my number, _ _ [A]
what you read
[E] Is as easy to [F#] learn as the _ [B]
ABC
[Em] My, [F#] my number, [A] what you [Em] read
Is as easy to learn [G] as the [A]
ABC
[E] _ Now if you have a taste for [D] this experience
_ [Em] And you're flush [Am] with your very first [D]
success
[Em] Then you must try a [F] twosome or [Bm] a [A#] _ threesome
You'll find your [E] conscience bothers you [Bm] much less
_ [E] Because murder is [F] like anything you [A] take to
_ _ [Em] It's a habit forming need for more and more
[Em] You can comfort [Am] every member [G] of your [A] _ family
[E] And anybody else you [Bm] find [A] above
_ [Em] _ [F#m] My [E] number, what you read
[Em] Is as easy [F#m] to learn as [G] the [F#m] ABC
_ [Em] My, [F#m] my _ [E] _
[B] number, what you read
[Em] Is as easy [F#m] to learn as [D] the [B] ABC
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Bm] _
_ [A#] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [A#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [B] _
[A#] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [B] _ _
[A#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
[A#] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ You _ [F] _ _ [A#] _
_ [F#m] _ _ [F] _ _ [B] _ _ [A#] _
_ [E] can be [Am] _ _ [B] _ [A] illustrious
[Em] And history's [Am] great dark hall [Bm] of fame
_ [A#] _
_ [E] All our [Am] greatest killers were [Bm] industrious
[A] _
[E] At least the ones that we all know by [Bm] name
_ [A#] _
[Em] Now you can reach [F] the top of this [Bm] profession
_ [A] _
[Em] If you become the leader [Bm] of the [E] land
[Em] For murder is the sport [Bm] of the elected
[A#] _
[E] You don't need to lift a finger [B] of your hand
[A] _
[Em] My, my [F#m] number, _ [A] what [Bm] you read
[Em] Is as easy [F#] to learn as the [F#m] ABC
_ [E] My, [F#] my number, [E] what [F#] you [Em] read
Is as easy to [F#m] learn as the _ [B] ABC
