Character Assassination chords by Graham Parker
Verse 1
Am
Du -du -du -du -du -du -du -du -du -du -du
Du -du -du -du -du -du -du -du -du -du
She opens up and pulls you in
And that's a napkin on your chin
She's like an ornament on your hood
And does the mambo like a
Em
piece of wood
Taking you under,
taking you under for the duration
Am
The creamy liquid of your heart
The vital substance that was part
Of every beat and rhythm
Em
It's come uncleared in the river
Taken you under
Am
Taken you under the old sensation
G
How could you lose so many things
Em
Your keys, your car, your diamond rings
Am
The very things that gave you inspiration
G
How could you get sucked
Em
up like that?
Am
How could you get so fucked up?
And let her treat you like an aberration
G
It's a character
Em
Am
It's a character assassination
The monkey's paw and the powder tusk
The chicken's feet and the corn husks
The Spanish fly and the ginseng roots
Em
The snake oil and the lotus shoots
Ran out of magic
Am
G
Ran out of magic and stimulation
How could you lose yourself like that
Em
Seem so pure and violent
Am
Until she hit you up, oh
G
Small change and devastation
Em
How could you allow yourself to rot?
Now you're vacant, that's your lot
Am
Now you've got to stop this
Disintegration
G
Like a character
Em
Like a character
Am
Assassination
Em
Am
G
How
could you
drop so many balls
Em
How could you blow so many cars
Am
And take so many falls
and still keep on trippin'
G
How could you miss so many shots
Em
C
Em
How could you write so many plots
Am
Wind up with a book
that's less than a gripping
You drop a hand like a dead leaf
Steal a heartbeat like a thief
Crush the bones beneath the skin
The marrow and the calcium
Em
Now you're under
Am
Em
Now you're under investigation
Am
G
Em
For a character, for a character
Am
Em
Am
A, A, A, A, A, Assassination
