[Primera Parte]

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

Flee before the killers go free

[Segunda Parte]

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

             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

[Terceira Parte]

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

[Quarta Parte]

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

But I know that inside my mind
           C#                        D
Well, I've got to say I've done it before
