This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Chorus - Coda A, Coda B

Verse 1

He said get out of here nobody wants you here

You smashed his head and the man died.

And there's a murmur from the appearing crowd

Searching for motives and reasons why.

Bridge 1

Now take a look at yourself and you'll see

what you are in the eyes of the world.

You didn't want it but now he is dead

and you're on the run from the law.

Chorus

You're a murderer..... in every town

murderer..... to the whole world

murderer..... you're on the run

murderer..... but you have to kill...again.

Verse 2

And like an animal which escaped from the cage

They're hunting you over their holy land.

Traps waiting everywhere, you fall in deep despair

Darkness and night your only friends.

Bridge 2

One day the chase will be over for you

and you'll find your own peace in the end.

Some day you will find sanctuary

Death!...but so long my friend.

Bridge 3

Look for a safe place where no one will find you

and try to escape from the law.

Wherever you are there's a killer behind you

wanting to get you for sure.

To lose the fear that some day he will get you

be faster and kill him and run.

Now you don't have to fear him no more

but in his place another headhunter will come.......

Run away.........

Finally, The End.
