"Torturing James Hetfield"
[Intro]
Bm E
[Verse 1]
A D
Well, we got James Hetfield
E A F#
And we tied him up tight
D
Naked and cold
E A F#
We kept the strip lights bright
D
Said what have you got for us James
E A F#
He said nothing at all
D
So we dragged some speakers
E A F#7
In from the hall
[Chorus]
Bm F#m E
James James James
C#m Ddim7 F#m
Just give us names names names
Bm F#m E
James James James
[Verse 2]
D
Well, we tried every tune in the songbook
E A F#
To loosen his tongue
D
We played Simply Red nonstop
E A F#
He just swayed along
D
Then we had an idea
E A F#
A new plan of attack
D
Thought that even a deaf man
E A F#7
Would bend and crack
[Chorus]
Bm F#m E
James James James
C#m Ddim7 F#m
Just give us names names names
Bm F#m E

[Verse 3]
D
Now look what we've brought for you James
E A F#
Your favorite disc
D
It's Chumbawamba
E A F#
Their greatest hits (There's only one)
D
Turned up the volume
E A F#
You should've heard him sing (Oh how he sings)
D
He cried like a baby
E A F#7
And told us everything (it was Lars!)
[Chorus]
Bm F#m E
James James James
C#m Ddim7 F#m
Just give us names names names
