[Intro]
D A G Bm A
D A G Em A
[Verse 1]
Dm A
She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin walls
D Bm
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Dm A
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Dm Bm
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around
Dm Bm
On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
Dm Bm
The precious little kid cashed the woes
Dm Bm
Salvadorian girl, she kind of made you spill
Dm Bm
Her brother Mario got shot four times in the head
Dm Bm
Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one
Dm Bm
Through the lung, now he's done so God bless the man
Dm Bm Dm Bm
Cocaine moved through that system, like a river forever winding
Dm Bm
To the last party of the lower class
Dm Bm
Even distance, just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last
Dm Bm
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
Dm Bm
You either get out and die or go to jail
Dm Bm
And your best intentions splinter and frail
Dm Bm
And a few weeks of promises and attempts to fail
[Chorus]
Dm Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder
Dm B A Bm
Glass-pipe murder, oh yeah
Dm Bm
Glass-pipe murder
Dm B A Bm
It's a glass-pipe murder, oh yeah
D A G
Bm A D A G Bm A
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Dm Bm
They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Dm Bm
Simple things made Mario feel better
Dm Bm
You see it falls on you and it falls on me
Dm Bm
Self-annihilation, catastrophe
Dm Bm
Two packs of cigarettes
Dm Bm
For two dollars and seventy cents
Dm Bm
And a bottle of wine that's been opened
Dm Bm
And he said, "Why do I do this?"
Dm Bm
A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Dm Bm
Not encouraging reality or me
Dm Bm
He said, "It's who I am, baby, back to it"
Dm Bm
Off the deep end the record changed
Dm Bm
You see, no one stood up and cheered for him
Dm Bm
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Dm Bm
Began to happen
Dm Bm
It's an old school dorm mystery
Dm Bm
And the handcuffs bleed
[Chorus]
