A Seen him in the papers, Ab Murdered by Malone, G F# Heard the bomber whisper, F Something about the phone. Am Watch out on the corner, C Standing by the rack, F Little Gringo told her, C Shot him in the back. Dm Now I'm shaking, F Yes I'm shaking, Dm Now I'm shaking, E Fm Cos I ain't got the knack. Cm C#m C#m Colours seem most ______, E Hands against the wheel, F# Flowers for opinion, F#m G Whiskey is up to deal. A Stalling in the warehouse, Ab Bowling alley too, G F# Look behind the jury, F Scared to point at you. Am Watch out on the corner, C Standing by the rack, F Little Gringo told her, C Shot him in the back. Dm Now I'm shaking F Yes I'm shaking Dm Now I'm shaking E Fm Cos I ain't got the knack. Cm C#m C#m Round and round the city, E Taxes all fall down, F# Shot out in a Citroen, F#m G East side of the town. A Waffle in a guinness Ab Tied between the bars, G Fifty fifty chances, F# F Bulletproof all cars. Am Watch out on the corner, C Standing by the rack, F Little Gringo told her, C Shot him in the back. Dm Now I'm shaking, F Yes I'm shaking, Dm Now I'm shaking, E Fm Cos I ain't got the knack. Cm C#m (it then alternates between C#m and Ab to the fade)
