[A] [F#m]
[A] [F#m]

[A]Here in the bar the boys [F#m]like to have fun

There's a [A]wager lost and an [F#m]argument won

There's a [A]stone washed damsel on a [F#m]junk food run

[D]It's a kinder [E]murder

There's a [A]ladder to heaven from a [F#m]battered stiletto

[A]Spitting out the words that he [F#m]put into her mouth

[A]See her in silhouette [F#m]going down south

[D]It's a kinder [E]murder

[D]It's a kinder [C/Am]murder

[G]She coulda kept her knees [Em]together coulda kept her mouth [G]shut[Em]

[C]It's a kinder [Am]murder

[C]It's a kinder [A]murder


Jimmy took her down to the perimeter fence
He was back in half an hour her said he left her senseless
Then he went back to his regiment
It's a kinder murder

The officer said it had to be denied
There's a tear stained would be teenage bride
All her family pride in a little ram rider
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder

She coulda kept her knees together coulda kept her mouth shut
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder

The child went missing and the photo fit his face
Dishonoured Jimmy just read about the case
He said that he was just taking up space
It's a kinder murder

Jimmy took his best friends keys from the pile
On the table in a flash he was dreaming of the pig skin
Seats and the walnut dash with the knickers in her
Handbag and the one false eyelash

It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder

She coulda kept her knees together coulda kept her mouth shut
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
