I couldn't find a source for lyrics online so I wrote out what I hear. Not 100% sure on the lyrics
but the chords are correct. Post any lyric corrections and I'll update them.
Note: The G* chords are quick passing chords in this part of the progression.
[Intro]
F G C C7
F G C
[Verse 1]
C
Since I haven’t talked to you, I
Em
Dream about your baby blues, and
Am G
Wonder why you stopped getting high
[Verse 2]
C
And even though we were just friends, I
Em
Think of us as book ends, and I
Am G
Gonna love you till I die
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F C
And you think your going to heaven
F G
And that I am going to hell
F C
And that I’m gonna keep on dancing
F G G7
Till I hear that ringing bell
[Chorus]
F G C C7
Heads gonna roll, baby
F G C C7
Everybody’s gotta pay their toll, and maybe
F G
After all is said and done
Am G F
We’ll all be skulls
F G C
Heads gonna roll (roll)
[Verse 3]
C
Took a little trip up north, in a
Em
Borrowed convertible red Porsche, with a
Am G
Narcoleptic poet from Duluth
[Verse 4]
C
And we, disagreed about everything, from
Em
Elliot Smith to Grenadine, he
Am G
Fell asleep and I put up the roof
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F C
And he took me to a graveyard
F G
I thought he’d kill me there
F C
And he kissed me on the corner
F G G7
While the nuns of Harlem stared, Oh-h
[Chorus]
F G C C7
heads gonna roll, baby
F G C C7
Everybody’s gotta pay their toll, and maybe
F G
After all is said and done
Am G F
We’ll all be skulls
F G C
Heads gonna roll (roll)
[Break]
F G C C7
F G C
[Verse 5]
C
Smoking Marlboro cigarettes
Em
Almost makes me forget, about
Am G
Riding on a private jet with you
[Verse 6]
C
I hope the sycophants in Marrakesh
Em
Make you feel your very best
Am G
Anonymity must make you blue
[Pre-Chorus 3]
F C
And you think I’m going to Heaven
F G
And that you are going to hell
F C
With your back to the Medina
F G G7
As if you were in jail
[Chorus]
F G C C7
Heads gonna roll, baby
F G C C7
Everybodys gotta pay their toll, and maybe
F G
After all is said and done,
Am G F
we’ll all be skulls
F G C C7
Heads gonna roll (roll)
[Chorus 2]
F G C C7
Heads gonna roll, ladies
F G C C7
Were gonna drink until they close, and maybe
F G
A little bit of hooking up
Am F
Is good for the soul
F G C
Heads gonna roll
