[VERSE ONE]
C# F# E B C#
My sin, my sin is done and it won't be forgiven
C# F# E B C#
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone where the wild people living
F# E B C#
Gone where the wild, the wild people living
F# E B C#
So long alone close to the bone
[CHORUS]
C# F# B C#
They kill the messenger, they kill the tax man waiting in line
C# F# B C#
They kill the passenger where the train and taxi collide
[VERSE TWO]
C# F# E B C#
A holiday has come, my mind has escaped into hiding
C# F# E B C#
I shine away my light out where the wild people riding
F# E B C#
Out where the wild, wild people are riding
F# E B C#
So long alone close to the bone
[CHORUS]
C# F# B C#
Ma-ma-ma mama please, please don't kill the messenger man
C# F# B C#
Ma-ma-ma mama please, please don't kill the passenger man
[VERSE THREE]
C# F# E B C#
Saturday I'm sick, I'm sick with the virus descending
C# F# E B C#
Burn Sunday to the quick, to the quick with a match of a mile long stick
C# F# E B C#
My sin, my sin is done and it won't be forgiven
C# F# E B C#
I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone where the wild people living
F# E B C#
Gone where the wild, the wild people living
F# E B C#
So long alone close to the bone
[CHORUS]
C# F# B C#
Ma-ma-ma mama please, please don't kill the messenger man
C# F# B C#
Ma-ma-ma mama please, please don't kill the passenger man
