    Eb           Ab                   Eb           Db
The streets were deserted, though the police were alerted
    Eb     Ab       Eb    Db         Ebm
They considered the phone call a hoax
    Eb    Ab            Ebm           Bbm
Furtively glancing, then jauntily prancing

The youth caught the guards unaware

The eyes and their owner so near

You've got it wrong, sir, I'm only the cleaner

With that he fired, the other saying as he died
        Ab                      Eb            Bbm         G
"You've done me wrong, it's the same old song forever and ever"

Picked up the diamonds and bundles of fivers
   Eb     Ab       Eb    Db         Ebm
He pushed them well down in his sack
    Eb    Ab            Ebm           Bbm
But the alarm had been sounded, he was completely surrounded
       Ebm              Ab          B    Fm
But he had some more tricks up his sleeve

Come outside with your hands held high
Bbm        Fm            Eb   Ab  Cm        Fm    Bbm
You'll not get me alive, sir, I promise you that, sir
     Db
With that he fired, the other saying as he died
        Ab                      Eb            Bbm         G
"You've done me wrong, it's the same old song forever and ever"
