Version 2
            [Intro]
(This is basically just the chords from the piano part.  You can pretty much ignore the bass
notes of this intro if you want to.  How do you play E9/G# on guitar anyway??)

Am          Abaug         Am             D/A   D7/A
E9/G#       Em/G          D/F#           F     E 

[Verse]
   Am                        Abaug
Something's happening, don't speak too soon.
   G                    F
I told the boss off and made my move;
        E
I got nowhere to go.

[Chorus]
       Am            Am/B    F               C
Son of Sam, son of a shining path, a clouded mind.
     B7    F     Am
(aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah)
       Am/B    F              C
Couple killer, each and every time.
     B7    F     Am
(aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah)
Abaug
(little walk-down riff)

[Verse]
Am                    Abaug
I'm not uncomfortable, feeling weird.
G                       F
Lonely leered, options disappeared,
       E
but I know what to do.

[Chorus]
       Am            Am/B     F                C
Son of Sam, son of a doctor's touch, a nurse's love.
     B7    F     Am
(aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah)
       Am/B  F           C
Acting under orders from above.
     B7    F     Am
(aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah) (I feel silly writing this out)

[Bridge]
Am         F          D7           F
Am         F          D7           F     G

Son of Sam, son of a shining path, a clouded mind.
     B7    F     Am
(aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah)
Am     Am/B      F            C
Couple killer, running out of time
     B7    F     Am
(aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah)

Am              Abaug             G                    D/F#
Shiva opens her arms now, to make sure I don't get too far.
      E/G#                      Em/G                       D/F#
I may talk in my sleep tonight, 'cause I don't know what I am.
                  F              E      Am
I'm a little like you, more like Son of Sam.
F        E        Am
