Verse 1
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There (E minor7) really isn't (A7#9) any need
for (B7#9) bloodshed (B flat minoraj7)
You just (E minor7) do it
with a (A7#9) little more fi (B7#9) nesse (B flat minoraj7)
If (E minor7) you can slip a (A7#9) tablet
into (B7#9) someone's co (B flat minoraj7) ffee
Then (F sharp7#9) it avoids an awful (F minoraj7) lot of (B7#9) mess
Chorus 1
Because it's (E minor7) murder by num (F sharp minor7) bers, (G major) 1, 2, (F sharp minor7) 3
It's as (E minor7) easy to (F sharp minor7) learn as your (G major) A B (A/B) C's
It's (E minor7) murder by (F sharp minor7) numbers, (G major) 1, 2, (A/B) 3
It's as (E minor7) easy to (F sharp minor7) learn as your (Gsus2) A B C's (B7#9)

If (E minor7) you're flushed

Then (E minor7) you must try a (A7#9) twosome
or a (B7#9) threesome (B flat minoraj7)
You'll (F sharp7#9) find your conscience

And (F sharp7#9) anybody else (F minoraj7) you find a (B7#9) bore

of your profe (B7#9) ssion (B flat minoraj7)
If (E minor7) you become the (A7#9) leader
of the (B7#9) land (B flat minoraj7)
For (E minor7) murder is the (A7#9) sport
