A Singer Must Die Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Now the courtroom is quiet,
but who will [B]confess?
Is it [C]true you betrayed us?
The [B]an swer is yes.
[C]Rea[D]d me the list
of the crimes [G]that are mine.
I [Em]will ask for the mercy
that you love [A]to decline.
and the ladies [D]go moist
and the [Bbdim]judge has no choice.
[C]A singer m[Bm]ust die
for [A]the lie [Em]in h[A]er voice.
And [Am]I thank [C]you,
I thank you for do[B]ing your duty.
[Ebdim]You keepe[D]rs [C]of truth
you guardi[B]ans of beauty
your vis[D]ion is right
and my vis[G]ion is wrong
I'm [Em]sorry for smudging the [A]air
with [Bm]my so[A]ng[D][Bbdim][Bm][A]
Oh, [C]the night, it is thick,
my de[B]fenses are hid
In the [C]clothes of a woman
I would [B]like to forgive
[D]In the rings of her silk,
in the [G]hinge of her thighs
[D]Where I [Em]have to go
begging in [A]beauty's [Bm]dis guise
[A]Oh, goo[D]dnight, goodnight,
my [Bbdim]night after night
After [F#]night, [Bm]after night,
after [A]night, after night, after night, after
I [C]am so afraid that I [B]listened to you.
Your [C]sunglass protectors,
they [B]do that to you.
[C#m]It's their w[D]ays to detain
and their [G]ways to disgrace.
Their [Em]knee in your groin
[D]and [G]their [A]fist in [Bm]your [A]face.
Yes, and [D]long live the state,
by who[Bbdim]ever it's made.
[F#]Sir, I [Bm]didn't see nothing.
I was [A]just getting home late.
