VERSE 5

D      
We hit a snag when we tripped the alarm
                                                       A
Because the dock side spics had been tipped off in time
                     D
To this perfect crime

VERSE 6

Called out the dogs, called out the cops
I caught the deputy ops
                              A
In a cold cock.  I will do time
                      D
For this perfect crime
 G                                                      D
So we ran around town with the cops snapping on our tails
G                                                            D
Because we’d rather brave death then a fist-fuck in county jail
                         A
Just for the perfect crime
For the perfect crime
                        D
This is the perfect crime
                                          A               D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba  ba ba ba ba ba ba
                                          A               D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba  ba ba ba ba ba ba
