Maxwell's Silver Hammer piano leadsheet with chords

Level 5D136 BPMThe Beatles
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home.

Late nights all alone with a testtube,

oh, oh, oh, oh.

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine, calls her on the phone:

The "Can I take you out to the pictures,

Joan?"

But as she's getting ready to go,

a knock comes on the door.

Bang! Bang!

Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head.

Clang! Clang!

Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.

Back in school again, Maxwell plays the fool again.

Teacher gets annoyed,

wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene.

oh, oh, oh.

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away.

So he waits behind,

The writing fifty times "I must not be so."

But when she turns her back on the boy,

he creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang!

Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head.

Clang! Clang!

Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.

sure that she was dead.

Silver hammer.
