[Verse 1]
G          Dm
Don't turn off the light
                   C
You might draw the Queen of Spades
      Dm
Don't shut the door
                       Am
You don't need to be alone
          Dm
I won't bring you no food
                      C                E
There might be some poison in your meat
 
[Chorus]
E                        Am
I've got to know are you dead or alive
                            G       C     Am
Don't shut the door are you dead or alive
Am
Dead or alive
                          G
Pick your window you're leaving
 
[Verse 2]
G     Dm
Don't look in the mirror
                 C
With a dollar up your face
       Dm
You've got money to burn
                 Am
You're cheap at half the price
         Dm
Oh don't powder your nose
                        C                  E
Don't blow your brains just for the the crack
 
[Chorus]
E                        Am
I've got to know are you dead or alive
                           G       C    Am
Just for the crack are you dead or alive
Am
Dead or alive
                           C   G  Am
Pick your window you're leaving

[Verse 3]
Dm
You're running so fast
             C
But you know you're standing still
       Dm
I'm afraid of your shadow
                      Am
And the knife in it's hand
Dm
You're dancing with death
         C                E
To the tune of the dealer
 
[Chorus]
E
And he don't care
E
Don't give a toss
                             Am
Don't want to know if you're dead or alive
                             G       C    Am
Don't want to know if you're dead or alive
Am
Dead or alive
                           C   G  Am
Pick your window you're leaving
