D D          Bm Bm            F#m F#m 
William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
With a cane that he twirled 'round his diamond ring finger
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
At a Baltimore hotel society gatherin'
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
And the cops was called in and his weapon took from him
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
As they rode him in custody down to the station
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m A A
And booked William Zanzinger for first degree murder.

CHORUS:
G G A A D D Bm Bm G G A A D D
But you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fears,
G G A A D D Bm Bm
Take the rag away from your face,
G G A A D D
Now aint the time for your tears.

D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
Owned a tobacco farm of six hundred acres,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
And swear words and sneerings,and his tongue it was a-snarling,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m A A
And in a matter of minutes on bail was out walking,

G G A A D D Bm Bm G G A A D D
But you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fears,
G G A A D D Bm Bm
Take the rag away from your face,
G G A A D D
Now aint the time for your tears.

D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
She was 51 years old and gave brith to ten children,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
And never sat once at the head of the table,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
And didn't even talk to the people at the table,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
And just cleaned up all the food from the table,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
And emptied the ashtrays at a whole other level,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
Got killed by a blow lay slain from a cane,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle,
D D Bm Bm F#m F#m A A
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger.

G G A A D D Bm Bm G G A A D D
But you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fears,
G G A A D D Bm Bm
Take the rag away from your face,
G G A A D D
Now aint the time for your tears.


NOTE: Alot of this tab is copy pasted as the rhythm is consistent, so if it looks like the chords are in the wrong place on a line, don't worry just play the song as you normally would and you'll be fine. I usually submit more quality tabs, but I wanted to submit one today and I'm just very sick. Enjoy all!

NOTE 2: I transposed this up by two intervals, as I prefer the sound of it like this.
