🤘 Verse :

Em        A
I remember it as plain as day
      C#             D
Although it happened in the dark of the night
Em             A
I was strolling through the streets of Paris
      C#           D
And it was cold it was starting to rain
Em         A
And then I heard a piercing scream
   C#             D
And I rushed to the scene of the crime
Em           A
But all I found was the butchered remains
    C#        D
Of two girls lay side by side

🤘 Chorus:

Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Someone call the Gendarmes
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Flee before the killers go free


🤘 Verse 2:

Em             A
There's some people coming down the street
  C#          D
At last someone heard my call
Em              A
Can't understand why they're pointing at me
 C#          D
I never done nothing at all
Em       A
But I got some blood on my hands
    C#           D
Because everyone's shouting at me
Em            A
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain
      C#           D
And like a fool I started running away


🤘 Chorus 2:

Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Someone call the Gendarmes
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Am I ever gonna be free?


🤘 Bridge:

       A            Em
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law
  A           Em
All France is looking for me
      A           Em
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure
G          F#
Down the south to Italy


🤘 Chorus 3:

Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Someone call the Gendarmes
Em
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
I'm never coming home


🤘 Verse 3:

Em           A
Well
I made it to the border at last
   C#              D
But I can't erase the scene from my mind
Em        A
Anytime somebody stares at me, well
 C#         D
I just start running blind
Em               A
Well
I'm moving through the shadows at night
 C#          D
Away from the staring eyes
Em         A
Any day they'll be looking for me
     C#          D
'Cause I know I show the signs of


🤘 Chorus 4:

Murders in the Rue Morgue

Murders in the Rue Morgue
Em
Running from the arms of the law

🤘 Verse 4:

Em           A
It took so long and I'm getting so tired
  C#            D
I'm running out of places to hide
Em           A
Should I return to the scene of the crime
     C#        D
Where the two young victims died
Em        A
If I could go to somebody for help
  C#             D
To get me out of trouble for sure
Em         A
But I know that inside my mind
      C#            D
Well
I've got to say I've done it before
