D                Bm     G Bm      A    D  
Crashing in the kitchen, noises in the hall  
 D                Bm       G      Bm                  A      D  
Roll over and go back to sleep -- it's just a dream, that's all

So how come the window's broken?  
      G                    A 
What caused the glass to fall?  
D                F#                G               A 
And who put that bullet hole in Peggy's kitchen wall?  

D       Bm     G        Bm    A   D  
Police arrive -- muddy up the floor  
D                 Bm G       Bm          A      D  
Dig out half the plaster -- it's a .38 for sure

Kick the neighbour's door in  
G                     A 
Saying better tell it all

Who put that bullet hole in Peggy's kitchen wall?  

D              Bm         G       Bm   A        D  
Blaster on the back porch shaking up the lane  
D                Bm       G          Bm         A              D  
They're drinking gin and joking -- laughter falling down like rain  
D                 F# 
Everybody wears a halo  
G                   A  
Never saw nothing at all  
D              F#              G                A  
So who put that bullet hole in Peggy's kitchen wall
