       C C/G Am Am/G F C F G 


    C             C/G                Am 
The killer in the car stepped on the gas 
   Am/G             F 
He made his getaway fast 
    C                 F 
And he went home and straight to bed 
 G 
Without a worry in his head 


    C            C/G            Am 
And as a member of the football team  
    Am/G            F 
His record remained clean 
  C                   F                  G               C 
Despite the fact he'd killed a boy named Brian Deneke 


C           C/G                Am 
Brian was a boy in a punk rock band 
   Am/G           F 
He died making a stand 
C                    F 
For the clothes that he would wear  
    G 
And for the colour of his hair  


         C                  C/G           Am 
When the good old boys came looking for a fight 
   Am/G          F 
On that December night 
   C                F 
He tried to run but Dustin Camp 
G                                  C 
Ran him over with his Cadillac  


    C             C/G                Am 
The killer in the car stepped on the gas 
    Am/G            F 
He made his getaway fast 
    C        F 
And Amarillo turned its head  
G 
On the boy who's blood was shed 


    C           C/G             Am 
And as a member of the football team 
Am/G             F 
Dustin went home free 
  C                   F                  G              C 
Despite the fact he'd killed a boy named Brian Deneke
