A                        F#m
Here in the bar the boys like to have fun

          A                 F#m
There's a wager lost and an argument won

          A                        F#m
There's a stone washed damsel on a junk food run

D             E
It's a kinder murder

          A                       F#m
There's a ladder to heaven from a battered stiletto

A                              F#m
Spitting out the words that he put into her mouth

A                     F#m
See her in silhouette going down south

She coulda kept her knees together coulda kept her mouth shut

It's a kinder murder



Jimmy took her down to the perimeter fence
He was back in half an hour her said he left her senseless 
Then he went back to his regiment
It's a kinder murder

The officer said it had to be denied
There's a tear stained would be teenage bride
All her family pride in a little ram rider
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder

She coulda kept her knees together coulda kept her mouth shut
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder

The child went missing and the photo fit his face
Dishonoured Jimmy just read about the case
He said that he was just taking up space
It's a kinder murder

Jimmy took his best friends keys from the pile
On the table in a flash he was dreaming of the pig skin
Seats and the walnut dash with the knickers in her
Handbag and the one false eyelash

It's a kinder murder 
It's a kinder murder

She coulda kept her knees together coulda kept her mouth shut
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
