All the (E minor) children testified
That Miss Macbeth (C major) had a fishbone slide
In her cobweb tresses (G major)
(E minor) Her eyes were black

Clutched as white (C major) as chalk- dust
Her (A minor) fin gers sweated india- ink
and (C major) poison- (E minor) pen letters

Just be (A minor) low your bed (D major) room window
You can hear her take a broom
(E minor) To beat out a (C major) tattoo (A minor) on the ceiling (D major)
(A minor) Her blood (E minor) less face ran red inside
But was (A minor) she really evil?

an (B flat major) other love (G minor) song (F major)
It's a tear (D minor) ful lament (C major) (A minor) of
some (B flat major) body done (G minor) wrong (F major)
