C#m E A G# C#m C#m
C#mEight days straight
G#Strapped down to a hospital Bed
‘Cause you C#mtook spray paint
And sG#cribbled Peace on the walls of the city
When C#mpolicemen came
Not a G#quiet surrender was what you gave, Aoh
When they brought you hEome
You tore off your cloAthes
And daEnced in the garden
Singing halleluiah, oAh
When they brought you hEome
The poems you wrAote
About a braEve young girl
                                   G#(cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole
 C#m   C#m   C#m   C#m(slam)
C#mYour mother cried
G#When you told her
You were Bernadette Peters
C#mShe was terrified
G#Called me up pleaded
Won’t you come see her?
C#mAnd upon arrival
You G#ran outside
To cartwheel down the dArive
When they brought you hEome
You tore off your cloAthes
And daEnced in the garden
Singing halleluiah, oAh
When they brought you hEome
The poems you wrAote
About a braEve young girl
                                    G#(cluck)
