Maxwells Silver Hammer

Beatles
 DB7Em
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home,
 A7DA7
late night all alone with a test tube, oh, oh, oh, oh.
 DB7Em
Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine, calls her on the phone.
 A7DA7
Can I take you out to the pictures, Jo-o-o-oan?
 E7A7E7A7
But, as she's getting ready to go, a knock comes on the door     

Chorus:

 DE7
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head.
 A7EmA7D
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.

D A7 D7 B7, C-G-E-A7-D-A7-D

Back in school again, Maxwell plays the fool again, teacher gets annoyed.
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene.
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away,
so he waits behind. Writing fifty times "I must not be so-o-o-o.
But, when she turns her back on the boy, he creeps up from behind

Chorus

P.C. 31 said "We've caught 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-o-o-o.
But, as the words are leaving his lips, a noise came from behind

Chorus

bakula (report comment to admin): 
It is metaphysical not pataphysical.  Can understand the confusion sounds similar and   is connected!
