Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Sing, muse, of [Em]the passion
of the pistol
Sing, muse, of the warning by the whistle
On a night so dark in the waning

[Interlude 1]
A dawn obscured by slate sky raining
[Em]

[Verse 2]
Five and twenty [Em]burglars by the reservoir
A teenage lookout on the signal tower
The mogul's daughter in hog-tie
The The mogul fingers the wrong guy, all lies

[Verse 3]
It was a [C]perfect, the perfect, the perfect
[D]The per[C]fect, the[D] perfec[C]t,
the perfect
The perfect, perfect [Em]crime
It was a [C]perfect, the perfect, the perfect
[D]The per[Em]fect, the[C] perfect,
the perfect
The perfect, [Em]the perfect crime

[Interlude 2]
It was the perfect crime
[Em]

[Verse 4]
The bagman's [Em]quaking at the fingers
The hand-off glance glance a little lingers
A well-dressed man man
in [C]the crosshair[Em]s

[Verse 5]
A shot rings out from somewhere upstairs
[Em]
It was a [C]perfect, the perfect, the perfect
[D]The per[C]fect, the[D] perfect,
[C]the perfect
The perfect, [Em]the perfect crime
It was a [C]perfect, the perfect, the perfect
[D]The[C] perfect, the perfect, the perfect
The [Em]perfect, the perfect crime

[Interlude 3]
It was the perfect crime
[Em][C]

[Verse 6]
It was like [C]a ticker-tape parade
[B]parade
When [C]the plastique on the safe
was [B]blown [C]away
And we all gaze from [B]eye to eye
As [C]we mouth our silent good[Em]byes[B][D]
[Em]

[Interlude 4]
[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em][B][D][Em]
The val[B]ley's sleeping

[Verse 7]
[Em]like a [D]bastard[Em]
It stinks of [B]slumber [Em]and d[D]isaster[Em]
Two words are spoken
with tap [D]wire[Em]
The agent's [B]ploy finds [Em]a surefire backfire

[Verse 8]
[Em]
It was a [C]perfect, the perfect,
the perfect
The per[D]fect, the [C]perfect,
the perfect
The perfect, the perfect [Em]crime
It was a [C]perfect, the perfect,
the perfect
The perfect, the perfect, the perfect
The perfect, the perfect crime
[Em]

[Verse 9]
It was a [C]perfect, the perfect, the perfect
[D]The perfect, the perfec[C]t,
the perfect
The perfect, the perfect, the perfect
The perfect, the [D]perfect, the per[C]fect
The perfect, the perfect, the perfect
The perfect, the perfect,
the perfect
The perfect, the perfect, the perfect
[D]The perfect, the per[C]fect, the perfect
The perfect, the perfect,
the perfect
The perfect, the perfect, the perfect
[C]The perfect, the [Em]perfect crime

[Outro 1]
[Em]
