A                                          D A
St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
A                                         D A
Upon the boulevard like a zipgun on parade
A                     D A
Lights of a silhouette
A                 D A
He's insubordinate
              E               D      A
Comin' at you on the count of one, two
(1,2,3,4!)

A           D             E                  A
My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
A            D                E              A
Just like a murder that your mother talked about
A           D                   E            A
King of the 40 thieves and I'm here to represent
A          D                E           A
The needle in the vein of the establishment

Chorus:
         D                     A
I'm the patron saint of the denial
        D                 E
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and edgar Allan Poe
Raised in the city in the halo of lights
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized

Chorus

E                    A D A D E A D A D
Are you talkin to me?!
E                                   A E F# F
I'll give you somethin to cry about!!

St.Jimmy!

My name is St. Jimmy, I'm a son of a gun
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, St. Jimmy)
I'm the one that's from the way outside, now
A teenage assassin executing some fun
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, St. Jimmy)
In the cult of the life of crime, now
I really hate to say it, but I told you so
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, St. Jimmy)
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down, ol' boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, St. Jimmy)
I'm the resident leader of the lost and found

      A   D
It's comedy!
      E   A
And tragedy!
      A      D
It's St. Jimmy!
      E        A
And that's my name!
And don't wear it out!
