(repeat as necessary for the verses.)

Guitar solo:

Csus2, Dsus2, Em6

Csus2, Dsus2, riff

Drum fill, riff, drum fill, riff, etc

G, F#, F

F, Fm

(Get out the kazoos, kids!  Time for the murder charge!)

        F

In the early days, he was bursting with confidence

Fm

I saw the life changing, (etc)

Gm

So watch out for Joker Bob,

F

I wish he were just a distant relative

Gm

But he’s razor close like blue green gelatin

F                     Fm

Icy cold acid in his heart

(carry on this way, until)

F

finally his ticker stopped

          Gm                                A  Bb

and they buried him with a smile on his puss

                 C               F      

and that’s the electrifying conclusion!!!
