Em               A
I remember it as plain as day

            C#                          D
Although it happened in the dark of the night

Em                          A
I was strolling through the streets of Paris

           C#                      D
And it was cold it was starting to rain

Em                 A
And then I heard a piercing scream

      C#                         D
And I rushed to the scene of the crime

Em                      A
But all I found was the butchered remains

       C#                D
Of two girls lay side by side
[Chorus]
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue

Em
Someone call the Gendarmes

Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue

Em
Flee before the killers go free
[Verse 2]
Em                         A
There's some people coming down the street

   C#                    D
At last someone heard my call

Em                           A
Can't understand why they're pointing at me

  C#                    D
I never done nothing at all

Em             A
But I got some blood on my hands

        C#                     D
Because everyone's shouting at me

Em                        A
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain

           C#                      D
And like a fool I started running away
[Chorus 2]
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue

Em
Someone call the Gendarmes

Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue

Em
Am I ever gonna be free?
[Bridge]
             A                       Em
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law

    A                     Em
All France is looking for me

           A                      Em
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure

G                    F#
Down the south to Italy
[Chorus 3]
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue

Em
Someone call the Gendarmes

Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue

Em
I'm never coming home
[Verse 3]
Em                     A
Well, I made it to the border at last

      C#                           D
But I can't erase the scene from my mind

Em               A
Anytime somebody stares at me, well

  C#                 D
I just start running blind

Em                             A
Well, I'm moving through the shadows at night

 C#                    D
Away from the staring eyes

Em                  A
Any day they'll be looking for me

         C#                    D
'Cause I know I show the signs of
[Chorus 4]

Running from the arms of the law

[Verse 4]
Em                      A
It took so long and I'm getting so tired

    C#                       D
I'm running out of places to hide

Em                     A
Should I return to the scene of the crime

          C#                D
Where the two young victims died

Em               A
If I could go to somebody for help

   C#                         D
To get me out of trouble for sure

Em                 A
But I know that inside my mind

           C#                        D
Well, I've got to say I've done it before
[Chorus 6]

Em
I'm never going home
