VERSE 1:
When you turn out the light
Ebm7
They’ll be coming for you
Ebm7
In the dark of night
Absus7 Ab7 Absus7 Ab7
With a bloody corkscrew
Ebm7
Bm7 Bb7alt (break)
They’ll pull out your eyes
don’t be surprised when they do
Murder mice
Ebm7 Ebm7/Db Ebm7/C B7 Bbsus7 Bb7alt (break)
VERSE 2:
If you’re taking a nap
On your new lawn chair
You better set a mouse trap
Or they’ll cut of your hair
When you’re fast asleep,
they’ll shear you like a sheep at county fair
Murder mice
VERSE 3:
They’re inside of the walls
and they wanna break through
they’re gonna chew off your balls
and make a testicle stew
They’ll turn you inside out,
fill you with sauerkraut and fondue
Murder mice
MUSICAL INTERLUDE:
Follow keys: Eb pedal

BRIDGE:
Slower swing feel
They’re just misunderstood
Eb7
They’re only up to good
Eb7
and their little pink paws
Ab7
are hardly murderous claws
Eb7
Bbsus7 (break)
when you hear their pitter patter,
Ab7
your fears will scitter scatter because
Bb7 (break)
they’re sweet, those murder mice
Eb7 Eb7/Db Eb7/C B7 Bbsus7
Keys solo
Guitar solo
Keys solo on intro to bring it back to verse
VERSE 3:
Original feel
Those sneaky little rats
They took me for a dope
They crucified my cats
and filled my toothpaste with soap
If they fool you twice then they’ll fool you thrice
don’t be a trope!
Murder mice
