Crime Story Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C#]
[E][Am][E][Am]

[Verse 1]
thunder laughs [Am]and thunderclaps
the afternoons round [A]here,
[Am]well they're just like that
I [F]know ya' don't spook easy
I know ya' [A]won't up [D]and quit
[F]let's keep it like that
now don't [Am]forget

[Verse 2]
when you go and make [Am]the drop
if he don't [A]look ya' in the eye
well ya' [Am]bet ter just walk

[Verse 3]
means [F]madness is takin' over
madness is in charge
it's come out of the woodwork
madness- at- [Am]large[D]

[Verse 4]
keep things [D]close
keep the dogs [G]at bay
[Am]just walk on [F]by[Am][D]
story [Am]of a crime
walk on [F]by
story of a [Am]crime
[D][Dm][D]

[Verse 5]
[Am]whole thing sounds harder than it is
timing's everything
but then you knew that, before I did

[Verse 6]
If this [F]turns into a circus
too much talkin', too much noise
walk on by
keep holdin' on to the bag

[Verse 7]
There's a [Am]town on the Spanish border
where you can chill
he's supposed to tell [A]ya' about [Am]it

[Verse 8]
but if he don't, head for the hills
[F]find some empty olive grove
where you can stash the car
somewhere exotic

[Interlude 1]
somewhere obscure
[Dm][G][Am]
[F][Am][D][Am][D][Dm]
[E][D][A][Am]
[A][Am][A][Am]
[A][F][A][D][A]

[Verse 9]
sometimes you do what is wrong
so [D]ya' won't do what's worse
[A]if ya' can't be [F]righteous
at least be careful
just [Dm]cause we feed the flame
don't [D]mean we have [D]to got [A]bur[D]ned[Am]
