Tuning: D G C F A D
[Note! Whenever you see an asterisk (*), it means to strum down once and very quickly, then palm-mute it.] [Note 2: Tune your guitar a step down, since that's how Voltaire does it. Alternatively, capo on 3rd or 4th.] [Intro]
In a Emcafe On the Champs-ÉlAmysées I saw a girl the other dEmay I was beguEmiled 'till I saw her sAmmile B7* B7* Em It was a gash across her face
[Verse]
NEmot long ago she found that sAmhe was alone So she wandered into a vEmaudeville show
She should have known it'd be bad Am B7* B7* B7* Em She saw the name that it had: The Straight Razor Ca-ba-ret
The Emfirst act was a Amstripper And the host looked like Jack the EmRipper But the audience was Amdreary B7* B7* B7* B7* B7* And so he slashed them smiles from ear to ear
[Chorus]
He used a Amstraight-razor Cause he's a Emface raper Am* Am Em And there's nothing he hates more than a stick in the mud If he Amtells a joke You better Emlaugh until you choke At the AmStraight Razor B7CabaEmret
[Verse 2]
When I went Emdown to Camden Amtown I saw a man reading the EmBible I won't in haste describe his Amface B7* B7* B7* Em For I might be sued for libel
EmNot long ago he found that heAm was alone So he wandered into a Emvaudeville show
He should have known he'd be maimed
When he disAmcovered the name: B7* B7* B7* Em The Straight Razor Ca-ba-ret While the strumpet stroked a Amdonkey The host juggled five dead Emmonkeys But the audience were Amsnobs B7* B7* B7* B7* B7* So he took a knife right to their gobs
[Chorus]
He used a Amstraight-razor Cause he's a Emface raper Am* Am Em And there's nothing he hates more than a stick in the mud If he Amdoes a trick You better Emlaugh until you're sick At the AmStraight Razor B7CabarEmet
