C#m
Eight days straight
Ab
Strapped down to a hospital Bed
           C#m   
‘Cause you took spray paint
     Ab       
And scribbled Peace on the walls of the city
     C#m   
When policemen came
      Ab                                 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
                                  Ab (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole


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


C#m 
Your mother cried
Ab  
When you told her
         
You were Bernadette Peters
C#m
She was terrified
Ab  
Called me up pleaded

Won’t you come see her?
C#m   
And upon arrival
    Ab  
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
                                  Ab  (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole


C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m 
C#m E A Ab 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
                                  Ab  (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole
