Verse 1:

Dm             A
She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin walls
D        Bm
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Dm            A
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Dm            Bm
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around
Dm          Bm
On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
Dm          Bm
The precious little kid cashed the woes
Dm          Bm
Salvadorian girl, she kind of made you spill
Dm          Bm
Her brother Mario got shot four times in the head
Dm          Bm
Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one
Dm          Bm
Through the lung, now he's done so God bless the man
Dm          Bm       Dm          Bm
Cocaine moved through that system, like a river forever winding
Dm          Bm
To the last party of the lower class
 Dm              Bm
Even distance, just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last
Dm           Bm
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
Dm          Bm
You either get out and die or go to jail
Dm          Bm
And your best intentions splinter and frail
Dm          Bm
And a few weeks of promises and attempts to fail

Chorus:

 Dm       Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder
 Dm    B   A  Bm
Glass-pipe murder, oh yeah
 Dm     Bm
Glass-pipe murder
 Dm    B   A  Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder, oh yeah

D A G

 Bm A   D A G Bm A
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Verse 2:

Dm          Bm
They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Dm          Bm
Simple things made Mario feel better
 Dm          Bm
You see it falls on you and it falls on me
Dm          Bm
Self-annihilation, catastrophe
 Dm          Bm
Two packs of cigarettes
Dm          Bm
For two dollars and seventy cents
 Dm          Bm
And a bottle of wine that's been opened
 Dm          Bm
And he said, "Why do I do this?"
 Dm          Bm
A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Dm          Bm
Not encouraging reality or me
Dm          Bm
He said, "It's who I am, baby, back to it"
 Dm          Bm
Off the deep end the record changed
 Dm          Bm
You see, no one stood up and cheered for him
  Dm          Bm
Everyone sat down with something that happened
 Dm   Bm
Began to happen
Dm      Bm
It's an old school dorm mystery
Dm          Bm
And the handcuffs bleed

Chorus:

 Dm       Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder
 Dm    B   A  Bm
Glass-pipe murder, oh yeah
 Dm     Bm
Glass-pipe murder
 Dm    B   A  Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder, oh yeah
