Standard (EADGBE)

She went in to a restaurant,

the time was half past eight

She made a reservation

 so they didn’t have to wait

By the time the waiter served them

and retrieved the dinner plate

The tainted spice had done its job

and sealed his mortal fate

Oh oh oh

Take your last breath deep and slow,

 Take your number, One last ride,

Good luck to you on the other side

 Just go go go.

He picked her up at 6 pm

she was ready for that date

Her hair was high, her neckline low

On her feet she wore the bait

She was dressed to kill and he thought he knew

how the night would culminate

But those spike heel shoes would pierce him through

before the clock struck eight.

Oh oh oh

Take your last breath deep and slow,

Take your number, One last ride,

Good luck to you on the other side

Just go go go.

He rang the bell, she turned the knob,

she met him at the gate

He held a bright arrangement,

one he’d helped create

There was baby’s breath and roses,

but the foxglove lay in wait

By the time he dialed the rescue

it was already much too late

Oh oh oh

Take your last breath deep and slow,

count your blessings don’t look back

Where you’re going you won’t have to pack

Just go go go.

The Am is hammered on to get the percussive sound.
