Verse 1
(A minor) (D minor) (A minor) There was a butcher
who had a wife and daughter (D minor)
And (A minor) a rich man who led them all
like lambs (D minor) to the slaughter
He tried (A minor) to take the butcher's wife,
when she refused he (D minor) took her life.
Framed the butcher for the crime,
and while he was doing time,
his (G minor) daughter came of age,
forced to per (F sharp major) form upon the stage.
And to be (A minor) clear, in this scenario,
The (F major) butcher is (A minor) (E major) me. (A minor)
But (B flat major) the (A minor) rich man truly will pay for his sins
And this time duly will be the one who wins
(F major) For there's a debt (G minor) that (E major)
has (B flat major) yet to be repaid
So my (A minor) course (F major) is set for (E major) the
(F major) blood an (B flat major) d the blade
An (D minor) d the death, sweet death,
that will (G minor) bring relief
From the (D minor) pain, (E major) and the passion,
and the (D minor) guilt, and the grief!
I'll heed (B flat major) the (G minor) call! (A minor)
Kill them all!
Kill them all! (G minor) (Edim)
(B flat major) (A minor)
