I tooDk my car in to get it fixed
And i Bgive the keys to some teethless hick
Who pGicks his nose and Aspits
     C#/D  
I want him dead!
And lDater on i go to shop for clothes
And tBhe sales clerk strikes a snotty pose
"Can Gi help you with thAose?"
     C#/D  
I want him dead!
And eGvery time i see that stAuck up topless dancer
I onlGy want her to grow old Aand die of cancer
Cause Di wanna set a bonfire in her hair
See hBer fry in the electric chair
Cause Gthats how much Ai care
     C#/D  
I want her dead!
Solo: Sorry bros, I don't have the solo yet. I'm more of an improviser, but if you mess 
with the C minor penatonic scale
starting at the 8th fret on the thick E string it'll sound pretty good. Oi! Oi!
And i Gask myself well hAow can it be right
To wiGsh these awful deaths on Apeople day and night
But wGhen i ask why thats the Away that it must be
I onlGy tell myself 'well beAtter tAhem tAhan Ame'.
Cause Dit's not that i'm such an awful guy
Don't Bask me cause i don't know why
But cGertain people Amust die
     C#/D  
I want 'em dead!
Yeah, DI wish they'd take a leap from a windowsill,
Or ovBerdose on sleeping pills
CurGiosity kAills

And BeveryBone whBo wears Bpanters' pants
And Gthe wGhole nAation oAf France

I took my car in to get it fixed

And i give the keys to some teethless hick

G A

Who picks his nose and spits

C# D

I want him dead!

And later on i go to shop for clothes

And the sales clerk strikes a snotty pose

G A

"Can i help you with those?"

C# D

I want him dead!

G A

And every time i see that stuck up topless dancer

G A

I only want her to grow old and die of cancer

Cause i wanna set a bonfire in her hair

See her fry in the electric chair

G A

Cause thats how much i care

C# D

I want her dead!

Solo: Sorry bros, I don't have the solo yet. I'm more of an improviser, but if you mess

with the C minor penatonic scale

starting at the 8th fret on the thick E string it'll sound pretty good. Oi! Oi!

G A

And i ask myself well how can it be right

G A

To wish these awful deaths on people day and night

G A

But when i ask why thats the way that it must be

G A A A A

I only tell myself 'well better them than me'.

Cause it's not that i'm such an awful guy

Don't ask me cause i don't know why

G A

But certain people must die

C# D

I want 'em dead!

Yeah, I wish they'd take a leap from a windowsill,

Or overdose on sleeping pills

G A

Curiosity kills

C# D

I want 'em dead!

D D D D

Everyone who's afraid to dance

B B B B

And everyone who wears panters' pants

G G A A

And the whole nation of France

D D D D

I want 'em dead!

D D D D

You better take a dive on a live grenade

B B B B

Or slit your throat with a razor blade

G G A A

I wish you'd all get aids

C# D

I want 'em dead!

D B

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

They got a go

C# D

I want 'em dead!

D B

And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Don't know why they got a die

C# D

But i want them dead!
