VERSE 1

N.C.
2...3...4!

I got a gun, I got a girl
I got a bullet-proof plan to pull
              A 
The perfect crime
                      D     
I got the perfect crime

VERSE 2
       
I got a warehouse down at the docks
I got fifteen precincts of cops bought
              A
The perfect crime
                   D
I got the perfect crime

CHORUS

G
You got to get your clock locked
                          D
Get your stopwatch synchronized
             G                                         D
You got to get it so you can?t put a pin through your alibi
                  A
To pull the perfect crime
                          D
To pull the perfect crime

                                          A  D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba  ba ba ba ba ba ba 


VERSE 3

D
I got a guy bought on the inside
I got a night guard gagged and hog-tied
           A
The perfect crime
                          D
This is the perfect crime

VERSE 4

I got a brain, I got a brawn
I got all the proper papers for the gendarmes
              A
The perfect crime
                        D
C?est ç the perfect crime

CHORUS

G
I got the mob boss bought
                         D
I got a letter from the DEA
             G
I got a mock-up of the lockup
                                       D
Where they stock up on their pocket change
                       A
To pull the perfect crime
                         D
This is the perfect crime

                                          A  D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba  ba ba ba ba ba ba

                                          A  D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba  ba ba ba ba ba ba

VERSE 5

D      
We hit a snag when we tripped the alarm
                                                       A
Because the dock side spics had been tipped off in time
                     D
To this perfect crime

VERSE 6

Called out the dogs, called out the cops
I caught the deputy ops
                              A
In a cold cock.  I will do time
                      D
For this perfect crime
 G                                                      D
So we ran around town with the cops snapping on our tails
G                                                            D
Because we?d rather brave death then a fist-fuck in county jail
                         A
Just for the perfect crime
For the perfect crime
                        D
This is the perfect crime
                                          A               D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba  ba ba ba ba ba ba
                                          A               D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba  ba ba ba ba ba ba
