[E] [Am] [E]
[A]
[Am] I was drinking champagne with Jerry Springer
I was young [Dm] and dressed up to [E] the night
I [Am] looked on, adoring [G] the western [Dm] walls of mirrors at my face
[G] At my [C] fondest [E] designs
And [G] oh [Dm] my dears, it [Am] was five [C] pounds a glass, [F] don't you know?
As the wise might [G] suspect, [F] as I stood laughing [Em] with the director
[Dm] There was only [Em] one way [Am] this could go
There's blood on [E] my boots, [Am] blood on my [E] boots, blood [Am]
on [E] my [Am] boots
[E] There's [Am] blood on [E] my boots, [Am] blood on my [E] boots, blood [A]
[Am] on [E] my boots
[Am] [G] [F] So [E] I'm home to my roots, [B]
[Am] there's blood on [E] my boots
[Am] [G] [F]
[E]
[A] [Am] [E] [Am]
I took a rickshaw right after the opera And I felt [Dm] like the queen [E] of the world
[Am]
The rickshaw driver [G] was twenty [Dm] and Italian And I gave [G] him my plus one
[C] And he went home for his [E] beautiful [G] girl And oh [Dm] my dears, it [Am] was five [E] pounds
For a [F] shining crystal gun [Am] Did I just [G] drink too much?
[F] Was there a [Em] waiter with a glut [Dm] shooting fishes [Em] In a barrel [Am] having fun?
There's blood on [E] my face [Am] blood on my [E] face blood [Am] on [E] my face
[Am] [E] There's [Am] blood [E] on my [Am] face blood on my [E] face [Am] blood on [E] my [A] face
[Am] [G] [F] [E] There's blood all over the place.
[Am]
There's blood, [E] there's blood, there's [Am] blood.
[G] Blood all [E] over the place.
[Am]
There's [E] blood on my [Am] face.
The night started warming so far away.
Oh, the stars, [Dm] oh, the wind [E] in my hair.
[Am] The tears with the hero, [G] the capital [Dm] twilight.
The lions in [G] Trafalgar [C]
Square.
[E] [G] And oh, my [Dm] darlings, it [Am] was five pounds a glass, don't you know?
Five [G] pounds for [F] poison in my [Em] glamorous glass that [Dm] quite [Em] put an end to [Am] my show.
[E] [Am] [E] [Am]
[E] [Am] [E] [Am] There's blood on my [E] [Am] clothes, blood on [E] my clothes, blood [Am]
on [E] my [Am] clothes.
[E] [Am] There's blood on [E] my clothes, [Am] blood on my [E] clothes, blood [Am]
on my [E] [Am] clothes.
[G] [Cm] Oh, it [E] came from my nose
[Am] This blood, this [E] blood, this [Am] blood
[G] [Cm] Oh, [E] it came from my nose
This [Am] blood on [E] my [Am] nose
[E]
There's an angel in Whitehall [Am] at night
Watched me leave, watched [Dm] me
[F]
[E] Stumble the poison, it blacks [F] out your eyes
Then your [Dm] face hits the [E] ground
[Am] And if you [G] follow [F] the city, [E] it might [Dm] well
They say you [B] made [F] no [B] sound, no sound, no sound
[F#]
[Am] [E] [Am]
[E] [Am] [E]
[E] [Am]
[E] And if you follow [Am] the city, [E] [Am]
[G] it might well
[F] They say you made no sound, no sound, [E] no sound
[Am] [E] [Am]
[G] [F] [E]
[F] [F#] [E] [Am] There's blood on [E] my [Am] tongue, blood on my [E] tongue
Blood [A] [Am] on [E] my tongue
[Am]
[E] Oh, [Am] there's blood on [E] my tongue, [Am] blood on my [E] tongue
Blood [Am] on [E] my [Am] tongue
[G] [F] [E] I'm gonna go to the shop and buy me some [Am] [E] plasters
[Am]
[G] And [Cm] then I'm [E] gonna send my big old cat in the ass
To make some bad little [Am] [E] bastards
[Am]
[E] Oh, bad little [Am] [E] bastards
[Am] [E] Oh, bad little [Am] [E] bastards
[Am]
[E] Oh, bad little, [Am] [E] oh, bad [Am] little
