Sword Of Damocles chords by Rocky Horror

Chords with lyrics

here's an approximate version of the way peter hinwood does it in the film - it might be a bit different
from the way it is usually in the stage show but? i tried?


A augmentedA            D MajorD        A augmentedA   D MajorD
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
A augmentedA                 D MajorD          A augmentedA   D MajorD
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
A augmentedA     D MajorD
Oh, woe is me
E MajorE       A augmentedA
My life is a misery
A augmentedA     D MajorD
Oh, can't you see
E MajorE
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
A augmentedA
I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed (That ain't no crime)
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread (That ain't no crime)
My high is low
I'm dressed up with no place to go
And all I know
Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer (Oh, Rocky!)

A augmentedA    D MajorD
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime (Oh no no no)
A augmentedA    D MajorD
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime (Oh no no no)
A augmentedA     D MajorD
Sha la la la
                   E MajorE
That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime

The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head (That ain't no crime)
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread (That ain't no crime)
Oh, woe is me
My life is a mystery
And can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer

Sha la la la
That ain't no crime
Oh no no no
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime
Oh no no no
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime (x2)
