[Verse 1]
[C]Nil[G]sso[C]n[G]
[C][F]
[C][G][C]
It was a rainy night and all
the windows were tight
And there were thirteen
people in the house
The owner and his wife,
the butler and his wife
Cook with her knife,
a couple named Smythe.

[Verse 2]
The [C]Andersons were [F]there with
an[C]other strange pair
And the scary care[F]taker [C]and me
The clock struck one,
there was the sound of a gun
And I heard somebody run away.

[Verse 3]
And [C]the twelve who were alive
had terror in their eyes
And I overheard the
Andersons [F]say [G].
'Who could [C]have done

[Verse 4]
[C]it?'
'Who could have done it?'
And I wonder where's the cook
and her knife
'Madam' - said Adam
with his wife by his side
[F]'It was the sho[C]t we heard
that took her life'.

[Verse 5]
The other [C]couple named Sloan
and I ran to the [F]phone
To call the [C]police but just [F]then
All [C]the power went out and
we heard a great [F]shout
[C]And we knew for someone
else it was the end.
[F]And when the power

[Verse 6]
[C]came on,
we were shocked with alarm

[Verse 7]
For instead of being twelve, we were ten.
[C]Who could have done it?
Who could have done it?
The Andersons were such a nice pair.

[Verse 8]
Now the [C]owner and his wife,
both afraid for their [F]life
[C]So they hurried to the door to run [F]away
But be[C]fore they got there,
there was a whistle through the air
[F]Then an[C]other,
then they both had passed [F]away.

[Verse 9]
There were sev[C]en of us left now,
afraid of death now
But I knew it wasn't me
or [F]the Sloans
'Cause when [C]the power went out
and we heard the others shout
We were out there in
the hallway on the phone.
[F]That left the butler

[Verse 10]
[C]and his wife
and the couple named [F]Smythe
And the [C]old scary caretaker too
[F]So the[C] Sloans and I,
who were both afraid to die
Had to think of something quick we could do.
[F]So we called

[Verse 11]
[C]the Smythes and
the butler and his [F]wife
And we [C]gathered in the drawing [F]room
But be[C]fore we could call
for the caretaker too
[F]It was too[C] late for he had met his doom.
[F]It looked like

[Verse 12]
[C]poi[G]son.[C][G]

[Verse 13]
That left [C]five, five, five were still alive
[F]The [C]Sloans, the Smythes and myself
Once again the lights went out
and I heard a great shout
From both the Smythes and the Sloans.

[Verse 14]
And then [C]the lights came on again
and I looked around again
And everybody was dead
and I was [F]alone.
[C][F][C]

[Verse 15]
[F]Well, I mus[C]t have passed out
for the next thing I knew
[F]I was awa[C]kened with my
hands in chains
There was a man with a gun and he said: 'Don't bother,
son'
[F]'You'll [C]have plenty of
time to explain'.

[Verse 16]
I was [C]rushed to a car, then taken to a cell
And a lawyer came in and said his name
He [F]said: [C]'I'm sure you told the truth but the truth is,
my boy'
'To believe in the judge would
be insane'.

[Verse 17]
[C]'Now before I pass sentence on you,
have [F]you any[C]thing to say?'
I said: 'Are you kiddin'?'
[F]I said: 'This [C]must be a dream' - I
said: 'This can't be real'
'You don't believe a word
that I've said'.
And [F]then he looked

[Verse 18]
[C]me in the eye
and said: 'Have mercy on his soul'
And I was [F]hanged by the [C]neck until dead,
[Bb]have[C] mercy.[F]
[C]Hey,

[Verse 19]
[F]wai[C]t a minute, hey, stop
Hey, [F]would you mind [C]rewind
ing that last [F]sentence?
[C]I mean, hanged by the what?
Until [F]when?[C]
Hey, listen, I think you made a little,
I mean I think you made a large mistake here
First [F]of [C]all, I was in Colorado having
breakfast with a nun, [F]OK?[C]
What do you mean? There's nothing
to get hung up about
I mean, you should be in here
Hey, you ever heard of the word appeal?
[C]Wel[F]l, [C]I'm about to appeal you off that bench[C]
in a minute unless you change that decision
Listen, I got a lot,
I mean I had a lot of friends in this town
Hey, I want to see my congress man.
