Intro: The song starts with a muffled barred E keeping beat
with the snare. Then, the other guitar comes in with:
repeat
--7---5---4-----------5--4-----7--5--4------

Then they get into heavy chords as follows:
(played in the higher position sounds best)
 EC#mAEF#mA
                                                 Verses:
 EAE
 Someone lights a cigarette
 AEF#m
While riding in a car
 EAE
 Some ol' guy takes a swig
 AEF#m
And passes back the jar
 BAE
 But where they were last night
 AEF#m
 No-one can remember
 C#mA
 Somebody got murdered
 BE
Goodbye, for keeps, forever
 EC#mA
 Somebody       got murdered
 EF#mA
 Somebody's      dead forever
And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill
Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperse
No-one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it' left me with a touch
Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever
/*
Now play the intro riff above these words:
*/
Sounds like murder!
Those shouts!
Are they drunk down below?
It's late, and my watch stopped
Some time ago
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
Are they drunk down below?
