I couldn't find this anywhere online. I looked at several BNL performances on 
YouTube, and Steven Page always played this with a capo on 5. 


STANDARD TUNING
CAPO 5


  F            C            G             C
I woke up this morning and everything was different
F             C              G      C
Something was strange in the air
  F            C            G             C
I woke up this morning and everything was different
  F             C               E
I knew that the Ninjas had been there.


         Am                       F
I looked all around my bedroom , underneath the dresser
   Am                              G
Behind the bed, but nothing could be found
        Am                                 F
There was nothing left behind them , nowhere that I could find them
Am                               G
No fingerprints or crumbs on the ground.


    F          G          C
The Ninjas are deadly and silent
        F       G        C
They're also unspeakably violent
     F         Fm             C            Am
They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please
        F            G         C
And sometimes they vacation in Ireland.


    F          G          C
The Ninjas are deadly and silent
        F       G        C
They're also unspeakably violent
     F         Fm             C            Am
They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please
           F              G                C        Cm (end chord!)
And if you tear off their masks they'll be smiling.
