[Em]
I re[E5]member [A]it as plain as day Although

[Verse 1]
[C#m]
it happened
in the dark of the [D]night
[Em]I was stro[E5]llin' through
[A]the streets of Paris
And it [C#m]was cold it [C#5]was starting to [D]rain
[Em]And then I heard a pierc[A]ing scream
And I [C#m]rushed to the scene of the [D]crime
[Em]But all I fo[E5]und was [A]the butchered
remains
Of two [C#m]girls lay [C#5]side by s[D]ide

[Verse 2]
[Em]Murders in the Rue [D]Morgue
[Em]Someone call the gen[Bm]darmes
[Em]Murders in the Rue Morgu[D]e
[Em]Vite before the killers go
[E5]free
[Em]

[Verse 3]
There's some [E]people com
[A]ing down the street
At last, [C#m]there's someone heard my [D]call
[Em]Can't unders[E5]tand why
[A]they're pointing at me
[C#m]I never done nothin' [D]at all
[Em]But I got some blood[A] on my hands
Because [C#m]everyone's shouting at [D]me
[E5]I can't speak French so
[A]I couldn't explain
And [C#m]like a fool I started runnin' [D]away

[Verse 4]
[Em]Murder in the Rue [D]Morgue
[Em]Someone call the gendarmes
[Bm]Murd[Em]er in the Rue Morgue[D]
[Em]Am I ever gonna be f[E]ree?
[Em]

[Verse 5]
And now I've [A]gotta get
away from the [Em]arms of the law
[G]All France is [D]lookin' [Em]for me
I've [A]gotta find my way across
the [Em]border for sure
Down [G]the south to Ita[D]ly
[Em]Murders in the Rue Morgue

[Verse 6]
[D]
run[Em]nin' from the gendarmes
[D]Mur[Em]ders in the Rue Morgue[D]
[Em]I'm never going home

[Verse 7]
[E5]Well, I made[E] it to the b[A]order at last
But I [C#m]can't erase the scene from my [D]mind
[Em]Anytime [E]somebody stare[A]s at me, well
I [C#m]just start runnin' b[D]lind
[Em]Well, I'm movi[E]ng through
[A]the shadows at night
[C#m]Away from the staring e[D]yes
[Em]Any day [E5]they'll be looki[A]n' for me
'Cause I [C#m]know I show the s[D]igns of

[Verse 8]
[Em]Murders in the Rue [D]Morgue
I'm [Em]runnin' from the gen[D]darmes
[Bm]Murd[Em]ers in the Rue Morgu[D]e
[Em]runnin' from [D]the arms of the [E5]law

[Verse 9]
[D]
run[Em]nin' from the gendarmes
[Bm]Murd[Em]ers in the Rue Morgu[D]e
[Em]Am I ever gonna be free?

[Verse 10]
[Em]It took so[E] long and [A]I'm getting so tired
I'm [C#m]runnin' out of places [D]to hide
[Em]Should I [E]return to [A]the scene
of the crime?
Where [C#m]the two young [C#5]victims [D]died
[Em]If I could[E] go to someb[A]ody for help
To [C#m]get me out of[C#5] trouble for su[D]re
[Em]But I know[E] that it's on my[A] mind
That my [C#m]doctor said
I've done it be[D]fore

[Verse 11]
[Em]Murders in the Rue [D]Morgue
They're nev[Em]er gonna find me
[Em]Murders in the Rue Morgu[D]e
I'm never going [Em]home
