Songtext

[Verse 1]
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art

[Verse 2]
      Em7          Fsus4/A      B7#9     Bbmaj7(b5)
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
         Em7          Fsus4/A       B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
You just do it with a little more finesse
   Em7            Fsus4/A    B7#9            Bbmaj7(b5)
If you can slip a tablet into    someone's coffee
     F#7#9            Fmaj7(b5)  Bm7
Then it   avoids an awful lot of mess

[Chorus]
            Em7             F#m7  G
Because it's   murder by numbers, one, two,
F#m7
three
        Em7     F#m7          G F#m7
It's as easy to learn as your ABC   
     Em7       F#m7     G         F#m7
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
        Em7     F#m7          B7#9
It's as easy to learn as your ABC

[Verse 3]
    Em7                Fsus4/A           B7#9    Bbmaj7(b5)
Now if you have a taste       for this experience
    Em7                      Fsus4/A       B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
And you're flushed with your very first success
     Em7            Fsus4/A      B7#9     Bbmaj7(b5)
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
       F#7#9                        Fmaj7(b5)     Bm7
You'll find your conscience bothers you      much less

[Verse 4]
        Em7            Fsus4/A           B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
Because murder is like anything you take to
       Em7              Fsus4/A                 B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
It's a habitforming need       for more and more
        Em7            Fsus4/A       B7#9      Bbmaj7(b5)
You can bump off every member of your    family
    F#7#9       Fmaj7(b5)          Bm7
And anybody else         you find a   bore

[Chorus]
             Em7       F#m7     G
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two,
F#m7
three
        Em7     F#m7          G  F#m7
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
     Em7       F#m7     G         F#m7
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
        Em7          F#m7         B7#9
It's as easy to learn    as your ABC

[Verse 5]
Em7                     Fsus4/A           B7#9   Bbmaj7(b5)
   Now you can join the ranks  of the illustrious
   Em7            Fsus4/A             B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
In history's great       dark hall of fame
Em7              Fsus4/A              B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
All our greatest killers were industrious
   F#7#9                  Fmaj7(b5)        Bm7
At least the ones that we all      know by name

[Verse 6]
Em7                         Fsus4/A             B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
   But you can reach the top       of your profession
   Em7            Fsus4/A       B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
If you become the leader of the land
    Em7           Fsus4/A           B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)
For murder is the sport  of the elected 
             F#7#9                  Fmaj7(b5)        B7#9
And you don't     need to lift a finger      of your hand

[Chorus]
             Em7       F#m7     G
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two,
F#m7
three
        Em7     F#m7          G  F#m7
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Em7       F#m7     G         F#m7
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
        Em7          F#m7         B7#9 Em7 Fsus4/A
It's as easy to learn    as your ABCDE

[Bridge]
B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)          Em7
               One, two, three,
Fsus4/A B7#9 Bb13  Em7 Fsus4/A
                 ABC
B7#9 Bbmaj7(b5)          F#7#9
               One, two, three,

              ABC

It's as easy to learn    as your ABC
