Capo on 2nd
Basically the way tim does it is he just scratches in between each chord apart from some 
but youll be able to hear it when he doesnt play the chords
CKnock knock Fcome in Cyou wanna fight FI'm gonna win
CI'll take you out Fin a minute
CStep in my flat Fsee what's in it
CI live in the land of the Fwelfare state
My Cflat used to be Fsection eight
CNow it's a rat infested Fcocaine run
My Cwhole world plays like a Fbroken drum
BbJunkie Fdrunken Cbum Bbyeah yeah Fyeah Crats in the hallway again
Outside my gate my crew's drinking a 40
Asked me if there's still rats in the hallway I said
Some things are like the weather
They never seem to change for the better
This girl came to me said she do me no harm
Rolled up her sleeve showed me tracks on her arm
I said what's your name she said it was Maya
She said CTim I wanna Ftake you higher
BbJunkie Fdrunken Cbum Bbyeah yeah Fyeah Crats in the hallway again
Zombie walking kid on his own no moral
Mr. High leaves the body in comes Mr. Withdrawl
Pain is the only thing the body will allow
The kid wants to dance the gangster knows how
Johnny bought some dope down on Market
Shoot up boot up the human target
Hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene
It's easy to stay dirty nothing's clean
He's a writer tags up Jackyl
Jackyl just clamped unclampable shackles
Rout up shoot up it's money it goes like that
Rat tat tat kid got shot point black in the back
My landlord said not to be bumming
He was a cocaine stoop and he had it coming
He had it coming? He's only 12 years old
The Ckid was in the blizzard got Fshot for being cold
CIt don't seem right tonight Fhit the lights alright
CWatch the roaches run Finto the darkest room
BbJunkie Fdrunken Cbum Bbyeah yeah Fyeah Crats in the hallway again
BbJunkie Fdrunken Cbum Bbyeah yeah Fyeah Crats in the hallway again
