Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
There are [D]many ways to go [G]mad
I go out [D]to Rome
With a rock in my fist and a gun in my bag
And [G]I shoot Mussolini in [D]the nose
I didn't shoot to skim the skin of his snout
Or his [G]teeth or the lips on his [A]mouth
[G]I simply saw a bad e[D]gg and I thought
I'd take the bad [A]egg [D]out

[Verse 2]
[D]
I fired twice, I didn't fire right
And [G]they dragged me through [D]the town
And the [G]fascist dictator car[D]ried on
And on and I [A]went [D]down
Down and down and then down more
They [G]hurt me in [D]and out

[Verse 3]
Half [G]had half mad
An [D]ig norant tourist
An old Irish hag
They called [A]me all sorts
[D]

[Verse 4]
But I moved in silence
For the love o' truth not violence
And I'm mad an' [G]I know
People don't really [D]change, I suppose
They just go a little [A]bad when they [Em]go

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][Em][Bm][D]
[A][Em][F#][Bm]

[Verse 5]
They [D]locked me up in
a Northampton house
Where I [G]feed a Northampton [D]boar
And [G]I lost the reasons w[D]hy I think
I'm a violet, I was [A]never a rose
[D]

[Verse 6]
I've been 29 years here
I'm not [G]ready to be here any[D]more
[G]See me back on Mer[D]rion Square
Where in spring the violets still grow

[Verse 7]
I [D]moved in silence
For the love o' truth not violence
And I'm mad an' [G]I know
People don't really [D]change, I suppose
They just go a little [A]bad when they [Em]go

[Verse 8]
[Em]
There are [D]many ways to go [G]mad
I go out to [D]Rome
With a rock in my fist and a gun in my bag
And I [G]shoot Mussolini in [D]the nose
I didn't shoot to skim the skin of his snout
Or his [G]teeth or the lips on his [A]mouth
[G]I simply saw a[D] bad egg and I thought
I'd take [A]the bad egg [D]out
