[Verse]
Em A
I remember it as plain as day
C# D
Although it happened in the dark of the night
Em A
I was strolling through the streets of Paris
C# D
And it was cold it was starting to rain
Em A
And then I heard a piercing scream
C# D
And I rushed to the scene of the crime
Em A
But all I found was the butchered remains
C# D
Of two girls lay side by side
[Chorus]
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Someone call the Gendarmes
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Flee before the killers go free
[Verse 2]
Em A
There's some people coming down the street
C# D
At last someone heard my call
Em A
Can't understand why they're pointing at me
C# D
I never done nothing at all
Em A
But I got some blood on my hands
C# D
Because everyone's shouting at me
Em A
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain
C# D
And like a fool I started running away
[Chorus 2]
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Someone call the Gendarmes
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Am I ever gonna be free?
[Bridge]
A Em
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law
A Em
All France is looking for me
A Em
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure
G F#
Down the south to Italy
[Chorus 3]
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Someone call the Gendarmes
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
I'm never coming home
[Verse 3]
Em A
Well, I made it to the border at last
C# D
But I can't erase the scene from my mind
Em A
Anytime somebody stares at me, well
C# D
I just start running blind
Em A
Well, I'm moving through the shadows at night
C# D
Away from the staring eyes
Em A
Any day they'll be looking for me
C# D
'Cause I know I show the signs of
[Chorus 4]
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Someone call the Gendarmes
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Running from the arms of the law

[Verse 4]
Em A
It took so long and I'm getting so tired
C# D
I'm running out of places to hide
Em A
Should I return to the scene of the crime
C# D
Where the two young victims died
Em A
If I could go to somebody for help
C# D
To get me out of trouble for sure
Em A
But I know that inside my mind
C# D
Well, I've got to say I've done it before
