Camper Van Beethoven – Axe Murderer Song (Guitar)

G      C           Am            D      D  D
Why do lovers park down deserted lanes?

     G       C          Am            D       D  D
Near haunted houses and homes for the insane?

       Am       D           G           C    C
Like a deformed son who was locked in a shed

Am      D             G                 C     C  C
Later escaped when he chopped off their heads

G      C             Am   D      D  D
Why do axe murderers only attack

            G         C              Am       D    D  D
When you're partially nude or you're taking a bath

Am               D            G           C    C  C
Though there are times I feel softer than most

Am            D          G              C     C  C
Somedays like yogurt and some days like toast

G        C         Am         D    D  D
Sorority girls and fraternity boys

G        C                 Am               D       D  D
Always deflowered. They're rich and they're spoiled

      Am         D             G            C    C  C
So we never feel bad when Aunt Jenny, who's dead

Am             D        G           C   C  C
Surprises them lying on her wedding bed

           G      C           Am        D     D  D
When we're making love now, I feel so exposed

G           C          Am        D     D  D
Might you impale me or turn into those

Am             D           G            C      C  C
Creatures that feed on the flesh of the living

     Am          D            G              C      C  C
They hide in the corn between June and Thanksgiving

Am         D         G      Em
Why do axe murderers only attack when we're 

Cm            Cm  Cm  Cm
Making love...

Am         D         G      Em
Why do axe murderers only attack when we're 

Cm             Cm  Cm    Cm       G
Partially nude        or taking a bath
