Murder By Numbers Chords by Frank Zappa

[Cm] _ [Gm] All [Am] right
[Gm] _ [Dm] _ [Cm] [Fm] Now this afternoon on my way down
The [Gm] elevator we stopped at [Cm] the lobby [Eb] and I was introduced [Ab] to a man named [Bb] sting who I'd never met [E] before [Db] [F] and
He's a [Eb] very nice man
[B] And he [Gm] came to the show tonight, and I just [F] talked to him in the dressing room [Cm] a little while ago
And I said how [G] would you?
[F] Mr..
Sting [Cm] like to come out [Ab] on stage and perform with [Db] us
[Cm] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ [D] _
[Dm] [Cm] Horace it's [F] all
[Cm] It's not in my [F] nature to kick a man when he's down
[Dm] When [Fm] I saw the first half of the show I realized I had [Cm] to come out here and tell you something
[Cm] But four years [Fm] ago Jimmy Swagger said this about [E] me
So this here [Cm] song by the police
[Gm] Murder by [F] numbers was written by [Cm] Satan
_ [F] Performed [Cm] by the sons of Satan
[F] the [Cm] [F] LZ pub [Ab] Lucifer
[Gm] The hornet was [Dm] I [Cm] wrote the fucking [Ab] song or
[Fm] _ [E] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [F] _ [Cm]
Was that you decided on a killing?
[Cm] first you make a stone of your heart
If you find that your hands are still willing
[Gm] And you can turn [Cm] a murder [F] into [Fm] art
There really isn't any need for [Cm] bloodshed
You [F] just do it with a little more [F] finesse
[Cm]
If you can slip a [F] tablet into someone's coffee
[Eb] and it'll voice an awful lot of magic
[Fm] Murder [Cm] by [Eb] numbers one two three
[Cm] It's as easy to learn as your ABC
[Bb]
[Fm] murder by numbers
[E] One two three [F] as [Gm] easy to learn [F] as your [Gm] ABC

[Eb] If you [F] have a taste for this [Cm] experience
And you're flushed with your very [F] first [Ab] success
[Cm] You must try a twosome or a [C] threesome
When [D] you'll find your conscience [Cm] bothers you [Eb] much [Fm] less
Cuz murder is [E] like anything you take to
[Cm] It's [F] a habit forming need for more [Bb] and more
[Gm] You can bump up every [Cm] member of your [F] family
[Cm] Anybody [F] else you [Eb] find a ball because
