Chords

[Intro] D A G Bm A D A G Em A [Verse 1]
Dm                         A
She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin walls

D               Bm
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls

Dm                        A
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down

Dm                        Bm
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around

Dm                   Bm
On Hoover Street, then he must be alone

Dm                   Bm
The precious little kid cashed the woes

Dm                   Bm
Salvadorian girl, she kind of made you spill

Dm                   Bm
Her brother Mario got shot four times in the head

Dm                   Bm
Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one

Dm                   Bm
Through the lung, now he's done so God bless the man

Dm                   Bm             Dm                   Bm
Cocaine moved through that system, like a river forever winding

Dm                   Bm
To the last party of the lower class

 Dm                           Bm
Even distance, just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last

Dm                     Bm
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale

Dm                   Bm
You either get out and die or go to jail

Dm                   Bm
And your best intentions splinter and frail

Dm                   Bm
And a few weeks of promises and attempts to fail
[Chorus]
 Dm              Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder

 Dm        B      A    Bm
Glass-pipe murder, oh yeah

  Dm         Bm
Glass-pipe murder

 Dm        B      A    Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder, oh yeah
D A G
 Bm A     D  A G  Bm A
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Dm                   Bm
They kick a bottle of beer and a letter

Dm                   Bm
Simple things made Mario feel better

 Dm                   Bm
You see it falls on you and it falls on me

Dm                   Bm
Self-annihilation, catastrophe

 Dm                   Bm
Two packs of cigarettes

Dm                   Bm
For two dollars and seventy cents

 Dm                   Bm
And a bottle of wine that's been opened

 Dm                   Bm
And he said, "Why do I do this?"

 Dm                   Bm
A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC

Dm                   Bm
Not encouraging reality or me

Dm                   Bm
He said, "It's who I am, baby, back to it"

 Dm                   Bm
Off the deep end the record changed

 Dm                   Bm
You see, no one stood up and cheered for him

   Dm                   Bm
Everyone sat down with something that happened

 Dm      Bm
Began to happen

Dm            Bm
It's an old school dorm mystery

Dm                   Bm
And the handcuffs bleed
[Chorus]
 Dm              Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder

 Dm        B      A    Bm
Glass-pipe murder, oh yeah

  Dm         Bm
Glass-pipe murder

 Dm        B      A    Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder, oh yeah

 Bm A     D  A G  Bm A
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

G            Bm      Dm     Bm
Who was the killer? It's in the
Dm Bm
Em  D  A G  Bm  A
