Maxwell's Silver Hammer
The Beatles
D D/C# B7 Em Em7
Joan was quizical studied pataphysical science in the home
A7 D A7
Late nights all alone with a test tube, oh, oh oh oh
D D/C# B7 Em Em7
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine calls her on the phone
A7 D A7
Can I take you out to the pictures Jo-oh-oh-oan
E7 A7
But as she's getting ready to go, a knock comes at the door
Chorus:
D E7
Bang bang maxwell's silver hammer came down on her head
A7 Em7 A7
D-A7-D
Clang clang maxwell's sliver hammer made sure that she was dead
D - F# - Bm - D7 G D D-A7-D
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again, teacher gets
annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away, so he waits
behind
Writing 50 times I will not be so - oh - oh -oh
But when she turns her back on the boy, he creeps up from behind
Chorus
PC 31 says we got a dirty one, Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures oh, oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery say he must go free
The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh
But as the words are leaving his lips, a noise comes from behind
Chorus
