MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER CHORDS

[Verse]
D                 
Joan was quizzical
B7                   Em                 
Studied pataphysical science in the home
A7                                    
Late nights all alone with a test tube
D        A7 A
Oh oh oh oh 
D A              B7                  
 Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Em                    
Calls her on the phone


[Chorus]
A7  A A7                           D    A
Can I take you out to the pictures Joan 
E7                   E     E7   
But as she's getting ready to go
A7                       
A knock comes on the door
D        A         D            
Bangbang Maxwell's silver hammer
E                  E7  
Came down upon her head
A7                              
Bangbang Maxwell's silver hammer
Em             A7      D   
Made sure that she was dead
Gb Bm Am7 G D
        


[Verse]
                     B7                          
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Em                  
Teacher gets annoyed
A7                             D     A
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene 
D                     B7                          
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
Em                
So he waits behind
A7                         A      D  A     
Writing fifty times I must not be so ohohoh


[Chorus]
E7                                    
But when she turns her back on the boy
A7                      
He creeps up from behind
D                               
Bangbang Maxwell's silver hammer
E                  E7  
Came down upon her head
A                               
Bangbang Maxwell's silver hammer
Em                     A7  
Made sure that she was dead

P C thirtyone said
B7                   
We caught a thirtyone
Em                  
Maxwell stands alone
A7       A A7          D       
Painting  testimonial pictures
         A7
Oh oh oh oh
D                  B7                        
 Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Em                 
Say he must go free
A                                          D  A7    
The judge does not agree and he tells them so ohohoh
E7                                   
But as the words are leaving his lips
  A7                     
A noise comes from behind


[Chorus]
D                               
Bangbang Maxwell's silver hammer
E                      
Came down upon his head
A        A7                     
Bangbang Maxwell's silver hammer
Em               A7  
Made sure he was dead
