C#m EVII A G# C#m
Eight days straight Strapped down to a hospital Bed
Q=180
oh, When they brought you home..
..wrote, about a brave young girl and the snake
that swallowed her
whole (cluck)
(slam!)
let ring..
Eight days straight
Strapped down to a hospital bed
??Cause you took spray paint
And scribbled Peace on the walls of the city
When policemen came
Not a quiet surrender was what you gave, oh
When they brought you home
You tore off your clothes
And danced in the garden
Singing halleluiah, oh
When they brought you home
The poems you wrote
About a brave young girl
G# (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole
C#m C#m C#m C#m (slam)
Your mother cried
When you told her
You were Bernadette Peters
She was terrified
Called me up pleaded
Won??t you come see her?
And upon arrival
You ran outside
To cartwheel down the drive
When they brought you home
You tore off your clothes
And danced in the garden
Singing halleluiah, oh
When they brought you home
The poems you wrote
About a brave young girl
G# (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole
Oh, When they brought you home
You tore off your clothes
And danced in the garden
Singing halleluiah, oh
When they brought you home
The poems you wrote
About a brave young girl
G# (cluck)
And the snake that swallowed her whole
