[Verse 1]
All the [Em]children testified
That Miss [C]Macbeth had a fishbone slide
In her cobweb [G]tresses
[Em]Her eyes were black
like first foot coal
Clutched as white [C]as chalk- dust
Her [Am]fin gers sweated india- ink
and [C]poison- [Em]pen letters
There [A]is a hungry [Em]hanging tree
Just be[Am]low your bedr[D]oom window
You can hear her take a broom
[Em]To beat out a tatt[C]oo on th[Am]e ceiling[D]
[Am]Her bloodless [Em]face ran red inside
But was [Am]she really evil?
[C]Was she only panto[Em]mime?

[Baug][Em][C][A][F#m]

[Verse 2]
[G][D#dim][Em]
Now the chalk on the wall
Says that [C]somebody saves
That [Am]somebody's face has just been
[G]Washed off[Em] the pavemen[D]t
Into a [Am]puzzle where petrol
Will be [G]poisoned [Em]by rain[D]
Miss [Am]Macbeth saw her reflection
As con[G]fetti [Em]bled its [D]colours down
the [C]drain[Csus4]
[C]And every

[Verse 3]
[F]day she [C]lives [Am]out
an[Bb]other [Gm]love [F]song
It's a tear[Dm]ful l[C]ament [Am]of
[Bb]somebody d[Gm]one [F]wrong
Well how can you [C]miss what
you've [Bb]never pos[Gm]sessed

[Interlude 1]
Miss Macbeth?

[Verse 4]
Well we [Em]all should have known
When the [C]children paraded
They por[Am]trayed her in
their fairytales
[G]Sprinkling [Em]deadly [D]nightshade
And [Am]as they tormented her
[G]She rose [Em]to th[D]e bait
[Am]Even a scapegoat
[G]Mus[Em]t have som[D]eone to hat[C]e[Csus4]
[C]And every

[Verse 5]
[F]day she [C]lives [Am]out
an[Bb]other love [F]song
"You're up [Dm]there enjoy[C]ing your[Am]self,
and [Bb]I know it's wr[Gm]ong"
But [F]how [Dm]can you [C]miss what
you've [Bb]never pos[Gm]sessed
Miss [C]Macbeth[Bb]?

[Verse 6]
[G]Sometimes people are [Baug]just
what they ap[F]pear to [Dm]be
With [G]no redemption at [Baug]all
We [Am]try to walk u[Baug]pright[Am]
[D]When we can't even crawl
[Em]

[Verse 7]
[D][Am]
Miss [Em]Macbeth has a gollywog
She [C]chucks under the chin
And she [Am]whispers to it [A]tenderly
[Am]Then[G] sticks it on a [Em]pin[D]
And it [Am]might be coincidence
But [G]a boy [Em]down the [D]lane
That [Am]she said went white as he could do
[G]Then [Em]doubled [D]over in [C]pain

[Verse 8]
And every[F]day [Dm]she l[C]ives o[Am]ut
an[Bb]other [Gm]love [F]song
It's a tear[Dm]ful l[C]ament [Am]of
[Bb]somebody d[Gm]one wrong
An[Bb]d how ca[F]n yo[Dm]u miss wh[C]at[Am]
you've [Bb]never pos[Gm]sessed
Miss [C]Macbeth?
