Character Assassination chords by

Graham Parker

N/A
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

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • 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

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
