Title:	Murder, Tonight, In the Trailer Park
Lyrics:	M. Timmins

A                             G
Murder tonight in the trailer park.
F
Mrs. Annabelle Evans found
        E
with her throat cut after dark.
A
Her pockets turned inside out
           G
her dresser drawers turned upside down.
F
Anna's neighbor, Peg, identifies the body
E                         B     E
lets out a hollow kind of sound.

E     A
Homicide is tying yellow ribbons
E              A
around her silver Airstream.
E      A
Red cherries slashing up the night
B                    A              E
cutting through that cordoned crime scene.
A              G                     E
There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight.

A                             G
Murder tonight in the trailer park.
F
Pack your things, Ann Marie, we're heading
E
west, we're gonna make a fresh start.
A
I've been saving pennies,
            G
been looking forward to this day.
F
No time for questions, are you coming
E                B     E
or are you gonna stay?

E    A
Crosstown at the Waterton
E  A
George Evans is sitting tall and tight,
E   A
buying drinks for all the regulars
B A      E
bragging about how them bones danced for him tonight.
A        G   E
There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight.

A               G
Murder tonight in the trailer park.
F
Faceless man counting crumpled bills,
E
hotel neon fights the dark.
A       G
TV set in the corner, they're talking murder on the late-night news.
F
He turns down the sound, waits for the sports.
E        B   E
He only wants to know "did I win or did I lose?"

E        A      E   A
There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight.
E       A        E
Murder in the trailer park.



The song sounds right except for the first B (and its repetitions), which I
think sounds a little off.  It must be some B variation.  If you can
correct me, I can go to my grave happy.
