The only chords you need to know are Em and Am, there is an optional A7 in there, though 
EmThree heavy stones will keep it from Amfloating,
weigh it Emdown to the Ambottom, food for the fishes.
EmAnd I know that Amit won't be Emdiscovered
'cause I will be Amcareful, so very careful.
START HAMMERING THE CHORDS ON HERE, BUT KEEP STRUMMING
EmWhat if it doesn't Amrain for days and the Emriver is
reduced to its Ammuddy bed?
With a Emcorpse exposed I would Amwork in haste
andEm... I might bury the Ambones in a shallow grave.
                        A7or Am  
And the rain comes and moves rocks and the stones
 A7or Am  
washes away all the dirt and the mudflows
 A7or Am  
Bones are exposed and well.
 A7or Am  
you know how that goes!
EmI wait for the day when I'll finally defile
the Ambodies of my ex lover's lovers.
EmI'll pile high to the sky
the Ambodies of my ex lover's lovers
EmDie, die, die diddle die,
Amdie diddle die, diddle die,
watch them Emdie.
Amwatch them Emdie.
EmDie, die, die diddle die,
Amdie diddle die, diddle die,
watch them Emdie.
Amwatch them Emdie.
(play Em to Am twice)
START HAMMERING THE CHORDS ON HERE, BUT KEEP STRUMMING

All of that can Emchange! 'cause, I am so Amlonely,
and I have lots of Emtime, to, send you straight
to the AmDevil, I'm taking my Emtime
to, plan your Amdemise.
EmWhat if I were to Amcut you up and Emmail each part
to a Amdifferent town? It would Emtake the most

brilliant private eye the rest of his life

a piece in each mailbox all over the planet
 Amor A7  
from Moscow to Tokyo to Guadalajara.
EmI wait for the day when I'll finally defile
