Lyrics:

Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
Once that you've decided on a killing,
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
First you make a stone of your heart.
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
And if you find that your hands are still willing,
F#7#9         FMaj7#11          Bm7 
Then you can turn a murder into art.


Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
There really isn't any need for bloodshed,
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
You just do it with a little more finesse.
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee,
F#7#9         FMaj7#11          Bm7 
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess.


          Em7    F#m7   G    F#m7
It's murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
         Em7    F#m7         G  F#m7
It's as easy to learn as your ABC.
     Em7    F#m7   G    F#m7
Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
     Em7        F#m7          B7#9
It's as easy to learn as your ABC.


Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
Now if you have a taste for this experience
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
And you're flushed with your very first success,
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
          F#7#9             FMaj7#11               Bm7
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less


Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
Because murder is like anything you take to
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
It's a habit-forming need for more and more.
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
You can bump off every member of your family
F#7#9       FMaj7#11        Bm7
And anybody else you find a bore


          Em7    F#m7   G    F#m7
It's murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
         Em7    F#m7         G  F#m7
It's as easy to learn as your ABC.
     Em7    F#m7   G    F#m7
Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
     Em7        F#m7          B7#9
It's as easy to learn as your ABC.


Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
In history's great dark hall of fame.
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
All our greatest killers were industrious
   F#7#9          FMaj7#11           Bm7
At least the ones that we all know by name.


Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
But you can reach the top of your profession
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
If you become the leader of the land,
Em7              Bbsus2           B7#9       BbMaj#11
For murder is the sport of the elected,
             F#7#9       FMaj7#11          Bm7
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand


          Em7    F#m7   G    F#m7
It's murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
         Em7    F#m7         G  F#m7
It's as easy to learn as your ABC.
     Em7    F#m7   G    F#m7
Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
     Em7        F#m7          B7#9
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E,...
