I've been visiting morgues and monasteries
Em              Em/D      A/C#       C
Looking for the necessary body parts
Bm        A#aug     Bm/A       Bm/G#

Well, it must be the winter of my discontent
   Bm                    Bm/A         Bm/G#  Bm/G
I wish you'd've taken me with you wherever you went
     E             Em/D      A/C#        C
They talk all night and they talk all day
Bm        A#aug         Bm/A     Bm/G#
Not for a minute do I believe anything they say

I'll take the Scarface Pacino and The Godfather Brando

Mix it up in a tank and get a robot commando
E            Em/D              A/C#    C
If I do it upright and put the head on straight

I'll be saved by the creature that I create

I'll get blood from a cactus, gunpowder from ice
        Bm          Bm/A        Bm/G#        Bm/G
I don't gamble with cards and I don't shoot no dice
       E          Em/D           A/C#      C
If you look at my face with your sightless eye
Bm                  A#aug     Bm/A       Bm/G#
 Can you cross your heart and hope to die?

No place to turn, no place at all
            E        Em/D    A/C#    C
I'll pick a number between a-one and two

I'll be at the Black Horse Tavern on Armageddon Street

Two doors down, not that far a walk

You can bring it all the way over, bring it all the way home
E               Em/D             A/C#     C
Bring it to the corner where the children play

You can bring it to me on a silver tray

        Bm                   Bm/A       Bm/G#      Bm/G
Can you tell me what it means, to be or not to be?
