[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F][G][F][G]
Now Washing[F]ton,

[Verse 1]
[G]
DC's
A funny little town
The further [F]you look [G]into it
The further things stick out
You oughta [F]be ashamed

[Verse 2]
[G]You oughta be destroyed
I'll chop you [F]into [G]little bits
And feed you [D]to my [G]dogs
Well [F]well

[Verse 3]
[G]well well well
What have we got here?
What have we got now?
Hey [F]hey [G]hey hey hey
Twistin' in the wind
Twistin' all night long
Now [Bb]can you [F]picture

[Verse 4]
[Bb]this?
[Eb]A ta[Bb]ste of wha[F]t will be[Bb]
The weatherman is wrong again
[Eb]It looks[Bb] like rain to me
I [F]heard the whistle blow

[Verse 5]
[Bb]
[Eb]The trai[Bb]n has jumped the track
[F]The [Bb]mighty en[F]gine's [Bb]outa gas
[Eb]Bureaucrat[Bb]ic heart[F] attack[Bb]
My [G]sister likes the boys

[Verse 6]
[D]They kin[G]da like her, too
My mama [F]says, "Be care[Bb]ful"
[G]Sister says, "Now, that ain't cool"
My daddy [F]fell in love

[Verse 7]
[G]
Down at the [D]fact[G]ory
And me, I [F]like [G]to sit around
Get high, and [D]watch [G]TV
Well [F]well

[Verse 8]
[G]well well well
What have we got here?
What have we got now?
Hey [F]hey hey [G]hey hey
Twistin' in the wind
Twistin' [D]all [G]night long
Now [Bb]I can take a joke

[Verse 9]
[Eb]
I'm [Bb]laughin' at myself
I faked my way through college
[Eb]And I fake[Bb]d my way t[F]hrough sex[Bb]

[Verse 10]
I've been falling down too [Bb]long
[Eb]I've been [Bb]bangin' up my head
And if I could stay on my [Eb]feet
I'd prob'ly [Bb]go right b[F]ack

[Interlude 1]
again
[Bb][G]
[F][G][F][G][F][G]

[Verse 11]
[F]Now [G]Harry's [F]got [G]a gun
And he just turned fourteen
He dresses [F]like a gang[G]ster
And he's livin' on the street
They kicked him [F]in the balls

[Verse 12]
[G]
They shaved off all his hair
They put a cur[F]rent [G]through his head
[D]And[G] left him lyin' there
Well [F]well

[Verse 13]
[G]well well well
What have we got here?
What have we got now?
Hey [F]hey [G]hey hey hey
Twistin' in the wind
Twistin' all night long
They [Bb]say that crime don't

[Verse 14]

[Eb]The judg[Bb]e does not agree
'Cause if you got the money
[Eb]He will su[Bb]rely s[F]et you f[Bb]ree

[Verse 15]
I'll watch you burn in [Bb]hell
[Eb]I'll[Bb] see you in your grave
I'd like to watch you suffer for
[Eb]The evil[Bb] that [F]you [Bb]made[G]

The fat man [F]he fell [G]off the wall
And he can't get [D]up [G]again
It's time [F]to say good

[Verse 17]
[G]bye
It's time to say goodnight
Whoever [F]is [G]the last one out
Well, please turn out the light
