    E                F#m                A               E 
The world has surely lost its head, the news is full of crimes 
                             F#m               A              F#m 
There's robberies in The Telegraph and there's murders in The Times 
    A              B           D           A 
And always more obituaries and even one of these 
   E                F#m              A             E     F#m  E  F#m 
Concerns the brutal slaughter of one old Miss Emma Keyes

The police have got their man, they're sure, he never left the scene 
                    F#m            A            F#m 
Indeed, he raised a hue and cry, a most unusual thing 
   A           B             D                 A 
An arsonist, a murderer, his soul will soon be frying 
     E              F#m               A                 E    F#m  E  F#m 
He's young but old enough to kill and not too young for dying 


       E             F#m                A                E 
Now it seems the populace will queue to see him stand in court 
                      F#m               A              F#m 
To hear him speak his wicked lies while smiling at his thoughts 
     A              B          D         A 
This arrogant young ruffian is obviously guilty 
       E               F#m         A             E           F#m  E  F#m 
Though nowhere does it say exactly how or why he killed her 


Instrumental (verse chords) 


   E                 F#m                    A            E 
Forget it dear, it's not the first, there's bound to be another 
                  F#m               A                   F#m 
The way you carry on you'll have us thinking she's your mother 
     A                  B               D                A 
This man called Lee has had his day and soon he'll be forgotten 
   E              F#m              A                    E    F#m E F#m E 
So put that paper down before your breakfast goes quite rotten
