Perfect Crime 1 Chords & Lyrics - Decemberists

[VERSE 1]

N.C.
2...3...4!

I got a gun, I got a girl
I got a bullet-proof plan to pull
The perfect cr[A]ime
I got the perfect crim[D]e

[VERSE 2]

I got a warehouse down at the docks
I got fifteen precincts of cops bought
The perfect cr[A]ime
I got the perfect c[D]rime

[CHORUS]

[G]You got to get your clock locked
Get your stopwatch synchro[D]nized
You got to ge[G]t it so you can’t put a pin through your[D] alibi
To pull the perfec[A]t crime
To pull the perfect crime [D]

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [A] ba[D] ba ba ba ba ba


[VERSE 3]

[D]I got a guy bought on the inside
I got a night guard gagged and hog-tied
The perfect[A] crime
This is the perfect crime [D]

[VERSE 4]

I got a brain, I got a brawn
I got all the proper papers for the gendarmes
The perfect cr[A]ime
C’est ç the perfect c[D]rime

[CHORUS]

[G]I got the mob boss bought
I got a letter from the D[D]EA
I got a mock-[G]up of the lockup
Where they stock up on their pocket cha[D]nge
To pull the perfect cri[A]me
This is the perfect crime[D]

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [A] ba[D] ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [A] ba[D] ba ba ba ba ba

[VERSE 5]

[D]We hit a snag when we tripped the alarm
Because the dock side spics had been tipped off in time[A]
To this perfect crime[D]

[VERSE 6]

Called out the dogs, called out the cops
I caught the deputy ops
In a cold cock. I will do tim[A]e
For this perfect crime[D]
S[G]o we ran around town with the cops snapping on our tail[D]s
[G]Because we’d rather brave death then a fist-fuck in county [D]jail
Just for the perfect crim[A]e
For the perfect crime
This is the perfect crim[D]e
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [A] ba ba ba ba ba [D]ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [A] ba ba ba ba ba [D]ba
