The Kooks - Murderer: chords

        Am                            Dm
She's a murderer, but who planted the seed?
           Am                                 Dm
The pastor baptized her,but the deed he could not clean.
                          Am                       Dm
The father tried to be a good man, and the mother kept her child.

Chorus:
     Dm       Em         Am
He cried and begged and wept,
    Dm              Em                Am
As she pierced the knife through his heart,
     Dm        Em         Am
But who could blame the child,
    G
To cast the first stone.
                Am
Oh, now she's a murderer.
            Dm
Now she's a murderer.

She was always looking
For a way out, not in
The church became her prison
For her, it only held sin
She cried, "Daddy, why am I so sad?
I've never done nothing wrong"
He said, "You got the blood of an evil man
But you've got to stay strong"

Chorus:
She watched as he cried and begged and wept
As she pierced the knife through his heart
But who could blame the child
To cast the first stone?
Oh, now she's a murderer
Now she's a murderer

She cried, "Daddy, why am I so sad?
I've never done nothing wrong"
He said, "You got the blood of an evil man
But you've got to stay strong"
Strong, strong, strong

Am                       Dm
Jesus is my Buddha, and Buddha is Muhammad,
Am                       Dm
Buddha is my Jesus, and nothing will divide us.

Chorus:
He cried and begged and wept
As she pierced the knife through his heart
But who could blame the child
To cast the first stone?
Oh, to cast the first stone
Oh, now she's a murderer
Now she's a murderer
