E                A
Someone lights a cigarette

While ridin' in a car

Some old guy takes a swig

And you're mindin' your own business

Carryin' spare change

    E               A  E
You wouldn't cosh a barber

                      F#m
You're hungry all the same

I been very tempted

Somebody got murdered

His name cannot be found

  E
A small stain on the pavement

                         F#m
They'll scrub it off the ground

       B              A  E
As the daily crowd disperses

                 F#m
No one says that much

C#m          A
Somebody got murdered

And it left me with a touch

A           E
Sounds like murder

      C#m
Those shouts

         A
Are they drunk down below?

            E
Sounds like murder

      F#m
Those screams!

         A
Are they drunk down below?

E             C#m      A
Say, my watch stopped, some time ago

            E
Sounds like murder

      F#m
Those screams!

A
Drunk, down below
