[Verse]
  A                          
I remember it as plain as day
C#m                              D           
Although it happened in the dark of the night
E               A                           
I was strollin' through the streets of Paris
    C#m                D               
And it was cold it was starting to rain
E            A                      
■ And then I heard a piercing scream
C#m                          D   E    
And I rushed to the scene of the crime
          A                              
But all I found was the butchered remains
   C#m                   D   
Of two girls lay side by side
E                  D     
Murders in the Rue Morgue
                 E7       
Someone call the gendarmes
                   E      D
Murders in the Rue Morgue ■
E                              
Vite before the killers go free
                                A         
There's some people coming down the street
                C#m              D    E
At last there's someone heard my call ■
                             A             
Can't understand why they're pointing at me
C#m                     D  
I never done nothin' at all
E                         A       
■ But I got some blood on my hands
C#m                            D  E
Because everyone's shouting at me ■
                          A               
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain
C#m                               D   
And like a fool I started runnin' away
E                 D     
Murder in the Rue Morgue
E                         
Someone call the gendarmes
                  D     
Murder in the Rue Morgue


[Chorus]
   E A                   
Am ■ I ever gonna be free
        E                   G                       
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law
              E             
All France is lookin' for me
A                                                
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure
G                 D    
Down the south to Italy
E7                 D     
Murders in the Rue Morgue
E7                        
Runnin' from the gendarmes
                   E     
Murders in the Rue Morgue
                E   
I'm never going home
               A                    
Well I made it to the border at last
                            D       E   
But I can't erase the scene from my mind
        A                         
Anytime somebody stares at me well
             D            
I just start runnin' blind
     E            A                           
Well ■ I'm moving through the shadows at night
C#m           D       E   
Away from the staring eyes
        A                        
Any day they'll be lookin' for me
C#m                  D         E 
'cause I know I show the signs of
                   D     
Murders in the Rue Morgue
E                    B        
I'm runnin' from the gendarmes
E                  D     
Murders in the Rue Morgue
E            E7       E         
Runnin' from the arms of the law

Murders in the Rue Morgue

■  Runnin' from the gendarmes
E              E7  D     
Murders in the Rue Morgue

Am I ever gonna be free
   A                                    
It took so long and I'm getting so tired
    C#m            D             
I'm runnin' out of places to hide
E        A                               
Should I return to the scene of the crime
              C#m   D           
Where the two young victims died
E          A                      
If I could go to somebody for help
          C#m            D       
To get me out of trouble for sure
E          A                   
But I know that it's on my mind
        C#m                   D        
That my doctor said I've done it before
E                  D     
Murders in the Rue Morgue
              E            
They're never gonna find me
                   D     
Murders in the Rue Morgue
    E     D         
I'm never going home
