                                               D5 A5
Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade

                         D5 A5                    D5 A5
Lights on the silhouette       He’s insubordinate

Comin’ at you on the count of  one  two (One, two, three, four!)

A5          D5             E5             A5
Suicide commando that your momma talked about.

A5           D5                    E5            A5
King of the forty thieves, and I’m here to represent

A5          D5     E5      A5
The needle in the vein of the establishment.

               D5 D5  D5           E5
‘Cause I’m the Patron St. of the Denial

 	   D5 D5  D5         E5   E5   E5 E5
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal.


(Verse two, same as verse one)

Verse two:
Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights
Product of war and fear that we’ve been victimized.

Chorus:
‘Cause I’m the Patron St. of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

   A5	                      D5
My name is St. Jimmy, I’m a son of a gun,

	   G5	                 D5         A5
I’m the one that’s from the way outside now.

  A5                   D5
A teenage assassin executing some fun

	  G5          D5      A5
In the cult of the life of crime, now.

I’d really hate to say it, but I told you so

	       G5             D5        A5
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down, old boy.

Welcome to the club and give me some blood

	  G5       D5            A5
I’m the resident leader of the lost and found.


     A5    D5
It’s com-e-dy

     E5    A5
And tra-ge-dy

     A5     D5
It’s St. Ji-mmy

    E5        A5
And that’s my name.

	                 A5
And don’t wear it out!


*In the live version from Bullet in a Bible, the last line is prolongued, and then, "And don't you fuckin' wear it out!"*
