The Ballad of Dwight Frye

Alice Cooper: Love it to Death (1971)

"Mommy, where's daddy? He's been gone for so long. Do you think he'll ever come home?"

	E	G	D	C

	E	G	D	C
	I was gone for	fourteen days,	I could have been	gone for more;

	E	G	D	C
	Held up in intens	ive care ward,	Lying on the	floor.

	E	G	D	C
	I was gone for	all those days,	But I was not all a	-lone;

	E	G	D	C	C-riff
	I made friends with a	lot of peo-ple	in the dang	er zone

	E	G	D	C

	E	G	D	C
	I think I lost some w	eight there,	And I'm sure I n	eed some rest;

	E	G	D	C
	Sleeping don't	come very easy	In a straight white	vest.

	E	G	D	C
	Sure like to see that	little children,	She's only four years	old ole

	E	G	D	C	C-riff
	I'd give her back all	her play things	even even the one I	stole

	|: 3x	E	G	D	C	:|

	|: 3x	E	G	D	C	:|
		(I wanna get	out of here,	I've wanna	get out of here.)

	|: 3x	E	G	D	C	:|

	E	G	D	C
	I grabbed my hat I g	ot my coat I	ran into the str	eet

	E	G	D	C
	I saw a man that was	chok-ing there	I guess he couldn't	breathe

	E	G	D	C
	Said to my-self, this is v	er-y strange,	I'm glad it wasn't	me;

	E	G	D	C
	But now I hear those	sirens call-ing	And so I am not	free
