C F [Verse 1]
C F It was a dark day in Dallas, November '63
C F A day that will live on in infamy
C President Kennedy was a-ridin' high
F Good day to be livin' and a good day to die
C Being led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb
F He said, "Wait a minute, boys, you know who I am?"
G "Of course we do, we know who you are!"
F Then they blew off his head while he was still in the car
C Shot down like a dog in broad daylight
F Was a matter of timing and the timing was right
C F You got unpaid debts, we've come to collect
C F We're gonna kill you with hatred, without any respect
G We'll mock you and shock you and we'll put it in your face
F We've already got someone here to take your place
C The day they blew out the brains of the king
F Thousands were watching, no one saw a thing
C It happened so quickly, so quick, by surprise
F Right there in front of everyone's eyes
G Greatest magic trick ever under the sun
F Perfectly executed, skillfully done
C Wolfman, oh wolfman, oh wolfman howl
F Rub-a-dub-dub, it's a murder most foul [Interlude]
C F [Verse 2]
C Hush, little children, you'll understand
F The Beatles are comin', they're gonna hold your hand
C Slide down the banister, go get your coat
F C Ferry 'cross the Mersey and go for the throat
G There's three bums comin' all dressed in rags
F Pick up the pieces and lower the flags
G I'm goin' to Woodstock, it's the Aquarian Age
F Then I'll go to Altamont and sit near the stage
C Put your head out the window, let the good times roll
F C There's a party going on behind the Grassy Knoll
F Stack up the bricks, pour the cement
C F Don't say Dallas don't love you, Mr. President
G Put your foot in the tank and then step on the gas
F Try to make it to the triple underpass
G Blackface singer, whiteface clown
F Better not show your faces after the sun goes down
C F Up in the red light district, they've got cop on the beat
C F Living in a nightmare on Elm Street
C F When you're down on Deep Ellum, put your money in your shoe
C F Don't ask what your country can do for you
G F Cash on the barrel head, money to burn
G F Dealey Plaza, make a left-hand turn
C F I'm going down to the crossroads, gonna flag a ride
C F The place where faith, hope, and charity lie
G F Shoot him while he runs, boy, shoot him while you can
G F See if you can shoot the invisible man
C F Goodbye, Charlie! Goodbye, Uncle Sam!
C F Frankly, Miss Scarlett, I don't give a damn
G F What is the truth, and where did it go?
G F Ask Oswald and Ruby, they oughta know
C F "Shut your mouth," said a wise old owl
C F Business is business, and it's a murder most foul
[Interlude]
C F C F [Verse 3]
C F Tommy, can you hear me? I'm the Acid Queen
C F I'm riding in a long, black Lincoln limousine
C F Ridin' in the backseat next to my wife
C F Headed straight on in to the afterlife
G F I'm leaning to the left, I got my head in her lap
G F Hold on, I've been led into some kind of a trap
C F Where we ask no quarter, and no quarter do we give
C F We're right down the street, from the street where you live
C F They mutilated his body and they took out his brain
C F What more could they do? They piled on the pain
C F But his soul was not there where it was supposed to be at
C F For the last fifty years they've been searchin' for that
G F Freedom, oh freedom, freedom over me
G F I hate to tell you, mister, but only dead men are free
C F Send me some lovin', then tell me no lie
C F Throw the gun in the gutter and walk on by
C F Wake up, little Susie, let's go for a drive
C F Cross the Trinity River, let's keep hope alive
C Turn the radio on, don't touch the dials
F C Parkland hospital, only six more miles
F C You got me dizzy, Miss Lizzy, you filled me with lead
F C That magic bullet of yours has gone to my head
G F I'm just a patsy like Patsy Cline
G F Never shot anyone from in front or behind
G F I've blood in my eye, got blood in my ear
G F I'm never gonna make it to the new frontier
C Zapruder's film I seen (right?) before
F C Seen it thirty-three times, maybe more Ff It's vile and deceitful, it's cruel and it's mean
C F Ugliest thing that you ever have seen
C F They killed him once and they killed him twice
C F Killed him like a human sacrifice
G F The day that they killed him, someone said to me, "Son
G F The age of the Antichrist has just only begun"
C F Air Force One comin' in through the gate
C F Johnson sworn in at 2:38
C F Let me know when you decide to throw in the towel
C F It is what it is, and it's murder most foul [Interlude]
C F C F [Verse 4]
C F What's new, pussycat? What'd I say?
C F I said the soul of a nation been torn away
C F And it's beginning to go into a slow decay
C F And that it's thirty-six hours past Judgment Day
G F Wolfman Jack, he's speaking in tongues
G F He's going on and on at the top of his lungs
C Play me a song, Mr. Wolfman Jack
F Play it for me in my long Cadillac
C F Play me that "Only the Good Die Young"
C F Take me to the place Tom Dooley was hung

C F Tell them, "We're waiting, keep coming," we'll get them as well
G F Love Field is where his plane touched down
