[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D C
See, the debt collector's coming
G
He's come to break my fingers
D Em A
So I can't play piano, no, no more
D C
And see, the debt collector's coming
G
He's come to take my tongue
D Em A
So I can't sing any songs any more
D
I just go "Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah"
C
To the top of the pop charts
"Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah"
G
In your iPods
"Ah-ha-ah"
D
That's the sound of silence,
Em A
Simon and Garfunkel
[Verse 2]
D C
And see, the Grim Reaper is coming
G
He's sharpening his scythe
D Em A
'Til he can see his own reflection
D C
And you see, the Grim Reaper is crying -
G
His business down the drain
D
'Cos people do it so much quicker
Em A
(And cheaper, and better...)
[Chorus]
D
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
C
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
G
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
D
And ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
C
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
G
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
[Verse 3]
D C
And you see – our Saviour's second coming
G
He's such a selfish bastard
D Em A
(Some of us don't get to come even once)
D C
And you see, his fans avoid my house now
G
'Cos I've signed a sealed deal with Satan
D Em A
To just love everybody that I can...
[Verse 4]
D C
And you see, I think the Grim Reaper should go after
G
That fucking debt collector
D Em A
So I can sing whenever I bloody goddamn well please
D C
And our Saviour should just make love to Satan
G
So both can see that either
Are terrible
D Em A
Without the other...
[Chorus] (x4)
D
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
C
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
G
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
D
And ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
C
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
G
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
[Ending]
