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 C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m

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

When they brought you home

About a brave young girl

And the snake that swallowed her whole
