[C#m] [E] [A] [G#] [C#m] [C#m]
[C#m]Eight days straight
[G#]Strapped down to a hospital bed
'Cause yo[C#m]u took spray paint
And s[G#]cribbled Peace on the walls of the city
When [C#m]policemen came
Not a [G#]quiet surrender was what you gave, [A]oh

When they brought you h[E]ome
You tore off your clo[A]thes

And da[E]nced in the garden
Singing halleluiah, o[A]h
When they brought you h[E]ome
The poems you wr[A]ote
About a bra[E]ve young girl
G# (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole

C#m C#m C#m C#m (slam)

[C#m]Your mother cried
[G#]When you told her

You were Bernadette Peters
[C#m]She was terrified
[G#]Called me up pleaded

Won't you come see her?
[C#m]And upon arrival
You [G#]ran outside
To cartwheel down the d[A]rive

When they brought you h[E]ome
You tore off your clo[A]thes
And da[E]nced in the garden
Singing halleluiah, o[A]h

When they brought you h[E]ome
The poems you wr[A]ote
About a bra[E]ve young girl
G# (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole

[C#m] [C#m] [C#m] [C#m] [C#m] [C#m]
[C#m] [E] [A] [G#] [C#m] [C#m]
[A]Oh, When they brought you h[E]ome
You tore off your clo[A]thes
And da[E]nced in the garden
Singing halleluiah, o[A]h

When they brought you h[E]ome
The poems you wr[A]ote
About a bra[E]ve young girl
G# (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole
