A Singer Must DieChords

         Bb
Now, the courtroom is quiet
    Am
But who will confess
      Bb
Is it true you betrayed us
    Am
The answer is yes
     Cmaj7
Then read me the list
       F
Of the crimes that are mine
       Dm
I will ask for the mercy
         G
That you love to decline

            C
And all the ladies go moist
        E
And the judge has no choice
  Am
A singer must die
        G
For the lie in his voice

            Bb
And I thank you, I thank you
Am
For doing your duty
               Bb
You keepers of truth
        Am
You guardians of beauty
     Cmaj7
Your vision is right
   F
My vision is wrong
    Dm
I'm sorry for smudging
    G
The air with my song

       C  E Am G
 La la la...

       Bb
Oh the night, it is thick
     Am
My defenses are hid
       Bb
In the clothes of a woman
             Am
I would like to forgive
       Cmaj7
In the rings of her silk
       F
In the hinge of her thighs
        Dm
Where I have to go begging
   G
In beauty's disguise

       C
Oh goodnight, goodnight
   E
my night after night
   Am                       G
My night after night, after night
               after night, after night

  Bb
I am so afraid
       Am
That I listen to you
     Bb
Your sun glassed protectors
     Am
they do that to you
           Cmaj7
It's their ways to detain
      F
their ways to disgrace
      Dm
Their knee in your balls
          G
and their fist in your face

        C
Yes and long live the state
      E
by whoever it's made
              Am
Sir, I didn't see nothing
           G
I was just getting home late

       Bb Am Bb Am Cmaj7 F D G
 La la la...
