Fm D# His father was a drinker Cm G# And his mother cried in bed Fm D# Folding John Wayne's t-shirts Cm G# When the swingset hit his head The neighbors they adored him For his humor and his conversation Look underneath the house there Find the few living things, rotting fast, in their sleep Oh, the dead Twenty-seven people Even more, they were boys With their cars, summer jobs Oh my God Are you one of them? He dressed up like a clown for them With his face paint white and red And on his best behavior In a dark room on the bed He kissed them all He'd kill ten thousand people With a sleight of his hand Running far, running fast to the dead He took off all their clothes for them He put a cloth on their lips Quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth And in my best behavior I am really just like him Look beneath the floor boards For the secrets I have hid You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsCm  D#  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
