≣≣
Tone: [D]
[D]Joan was quizzical; [B7]studied metaphysical
[Em]Science in the home.
[A7]Late nights all alone with a test tube.
[D]Oh, oh, oh, [A]oh.
 
 
[D]Maxwell Edison, [B7]majoring in medicine,
[Em]Calls her on the phone.
[A7]"Can I take you out to the pictures,
[D]Jo, oa, oa, [A]an?"
 
 
[E7]But as she's getting ready to go,
a [A7]knock comes on the door.
 
 
[D]Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came [E7]down upon her head.
[A7]Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made [Em]sure that [A7]she was [D]dead.
 
 
[D]Back in school again [B7]Maxwell plays the fool again.
[Em]Teacher gets annoyed.
[A7]Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
[D]Sce, E, E, [A]ene,
 
 
[D]She tells Max to stay [E7]when the class has gone away,
[Em]So he waits behind
[A7]Writing fifty times "I must not be
[D]So, o, o, [A]o.."
 
 
But [E7]when she turns her back on the boy,
He [A7]creeps up from behind.
 
 
[D]Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came [E7]down upon her head.
[A7]Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made [Em]sure that [A7]she was [D]dead.
 
 
[D]P. C. Thirty-one [B7]said, "We caught a dirty one."
[Em]Maxwell stands alone
[A7]Painting testimonial pictures.
[D]Oh, oh, oh, [A]oh.
 
 
[D]Rose and Valerie, [B7]screaming from the gallery
[Em]Say he must go free
The [A7]judge does not agree and he tells them
[D]So, o, o, [A]o.
 
 
[E7]But as the words are leaving his lips,
[A7]a noise comes from behind.
 
 
[D]Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came [E7]down upon his head.
[A7]Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
[Em]Made sure that [A7]he was [D]dead.
