C#m
Eight days straight
G#
Strapped down to a hospital bed
           C#m
‘Cause you took spray paint
     G#
And scribbled Peace on the walls of the city
     C#m
When policemen came
      G#                                 A
Not a quiet surrender was what you gave, oh

                       E
When they brought you home
                     A
You tore off your clothes

      E
And danced in the garden
                     A
Singing halleluiah, oh
                       E
When they brought you home
                A
The poems you wrote
           E
About a brave young girl
                                  G# (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole


C#m C#m C#m C#m (slam)


C#m
Your mother cried
G#
When you told her

You were Bernadette Peters
C#m
She was terrified
G#
Called me up pleaded

Won’t you come see her?
C#m
And upon arrival
    G#
You ran outside
                       A
To cartwheel down the drive

                       E
When they brought you home
                     A
You tore off your clothes
      E
And danced in the garden
                     A
Singing halleluiah, oh

                       E
When they brought you home
                A
The poems you wrote
           E
About a brave young girl
                                  G#  (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole

C#m E A G# C#m C#m

A                          E
Oh, When they brought you home
                     A
You tore off your clothes
      E
And danced in the garden
                     A
Singing halleluiah, oh

                       E
When they brought you home
                A
The poems you wrote
           E
About a brave young girl
                                  G#  (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole
