Fm 

And I kne

C 

w it ma

Am 

de me  

Fm 

wonder what kind of twisted mind

 

Woul

C 

d ever h

Am 

urt

Fm 

her, so thoughtless and unkind

 

But a mons

C 

ter so c

Am 

ruel can’t b

Fm7 

e that hard to find

 

C 

So I started wearing warpaint and I gathered all my friends

 

For C

Am 

ecilia 

 

we’

C 

d be hunters ’till the end

 

Th

Am 

ough 

 

I

C 

guess I never understood exactly what it meant

 

Fm 

Oh I  

C 

know 

 

C

Am 

ecilia

Fm 

and her sister were just statues made of stone

 

But I

C 

still 

 

misse

Am 

d 

 

he

Fm 

r and now her sister’s all alone

 

No th

C 

at just won’t do!

 

So let’s  

Am 

raid the vandal’s

Fm7 

homes

 

C 

So we ventured out at sunrise

 

With o

Am 

ur torches and our spears

 

A

C 

nd our shotguns and our fears

 

And ou

Am 

r carefully hidden tears

 

For Ce

C 

cilia, 

 

Cecilia

 

Fm 

Now

C 

I’m thinking of the moment

 

When  

Am 

we can l

Fm 

ook them in the eye

 

And mak

C 

e them sorry,  

Am 

’cause tonight they’

Fm 

re gonna die

 

Yeah, we’ll shoot t

C 

hem up dead!

 

Leave

Am 

their 

 

bo

Fm7 

dies where they lie

 

C 

So now we’re following the pieces of Cecilia to the door

 

Every  

Am 

shattered limb repeatedly r

C 

eminding us of what we’re searching for

 

Yes t

Am 

hey’re quite  

C 

aware of the cold hard fact that the city’s loss could be their gain

 

Fm 

They 

 

 

C 

are dreaming of, the feeling of!

 

A  

Am 

troph

Fm 

y in their arm

C 

s, a h

Am 

ero’s 

 

w

Fm 

elcome, claiming women with their charms

 

Oh I

C 

‘m sorry if I hurt yo

Am 

u, 

 

 

Fm7 

you know I swear I meant no harm

 

Fm 

Baby

 

C 

So the tra

Am 

il, it keeps on turning as we wander through the streets

 

I keep  

Fm 

looking 

 

a

C 

t, the pieces of Cecilia

Fm 

at my feet

 

C 

But the strangest thing occurs to me

 

Oh I’d  

Am 

swear we  

C 

are returning to the center of the town!

 

Fm 

Yes 

 

we’re

C 

back here, where we started

 

Where  

Am 

Cecili

Fm 

a used to  

C 

stand, but her sister looks different

 

P

Am 

lease, 

 

t

Fm 

ell me boys, if you can?

 

Is that a smile on her  

C 

face?

 

Is that a  

Am 

hammer in her

Fm7 

hand?
