D7 (hold) So I've committed murder like a crazed and angered dope A She's helped me plan a stunning getaway D7 And when the lynch mob came and we escaped the heat A And went dancing at the local cabaret D7 We left those lawmen standing with thirteen yards of rope A They'll never see me swinging from a palm tree D7 She'll be sure to keep me safe here, entangled in her arms A G Cuz I'm for her but Stephanie's for L.A., ohhhh (*) Stephanie's for L.A. (repeat several times) [(*)Note: The vocals are staggered here. Chords alternate between A and G, just listen to the song to hear it] A G Aaaah, And I would like to board the skybird....
