Verse 3
Cicero, Lipschitz!
Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
I'm carving up the chicken for dinner
Minding my own business,
and in storms my husband
Wilbur in a jealous rage
"You been screwing the milkman!" he said
He was crazy, and he kept on screaming,
"You been screwing the milkman!"
And then he ran into my knife
He ran into my knife ten times

Bridge 1
Eb
(same) Mit keresek én itt?
Azt mondják, a híres lakóm lefogta a férjem,
én meg lecsaptam a fejét
Ab
De nem igaz
Ebdim7
Én ártatlan vagyok
Nem tudom, miért mondja Uncle Sam,
hogy én tettem
Ebm
Bb
Próbáltam
Eb
a rendőrségen megmagyarázni,
de nem értették meg
Yeah, but did you do it?
Uh uh, not guilty!
Verse 4
Eb
(He had it coming)
My sister, Veronica and I had this double act
And my husband, Charlie,
travel around with us
Now, for the last number in our act,
we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a row
One, two, three, four, five, splits,
Ab
spread eagles, back flips, flip flops,
Abm
one right after the other!
Ab
So, this one night before the show
Abm
We're down at the hotel Cicero
B
The three of us, boozing,
Bb
having a few laughs
Eb
And we ran out of ice,
so I got out to get some
I come back, open the door
And there's Veronica and Charlie
doing number seventeen, the spread eagle!
Well, I was in such a state of shock
I completely blacked out,
I can't remember a thing
It wasn't until later,
when I was washing the blood off my hands,
I even knew they were dead!
Chorus 4
D
They had it coming (they had it coming)
D
They had it coming (they had it coming)
D
They had it coming all along!

I didn't do it (she didn't do it)

But if I'd done it (but if she'd done it)

A
Dm
that I was wrong?
Gm
Bb
Chorus 5
Eb
They had it coming (they had it coming)
Eb
They had it coming (they had it coming)
Eb
They had it coming all along

I didn't do it (and they abused it)
Abm
But if I'd done it
B
How could you tell me
Bb
Ebm
that I was wrong?
Verse 5
Eb
(He had it coming) I loved Alvin Lipschitz
More than I can possibly say
He was a real artistic guy,
Ebaug
sensitive, a painter
Eb
But he was always trying to find himself
He'd go out every night looking for himself,
and on the way
Ab
He found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary and Irving
Abm
I guess you can say we broke up
B
because of artistic differences
Bb
Eb
He saw himself as alive
And I saw him dead!
A
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum!
Bb
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum!
Chorus 6
Eb
They had it coming (they had it coming)
Eb
They had it coming (they had it coming)
Eb
They had it coming all along!

and they abused us
B
How could they tell us
Bb
Ebm
that we were wrong?

E
He had it coming (he had it coming)
B
E
He had it coming (he had it coming)
B

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
