Verse 1
D
Linda was killed last Saturday
about fifteen blocks from where she lives
G
In a car crash, people gathered around the graveside
D
friends and relatives dressed in black
Preacher mumblin' how she's
bound to go to Heaven
G
The service started at half- past ten,
it was all over by eleven
D
They say it's God's to give,
A
and God's to take away,
Bm
G
But why He happened to pick Linda on a Saturday night,
no one could say.
A
D
G
Maybe it's just one of those things
Verse 2
D
They found guy the who did it,
he had the lobotomy and the chicken eyes,
G
And he gazed around the courtroom
with a kind of vague surprise
D
Reminded me of one of those Vikings
with the long- handled swords
G
The kind of guy even Joan Baez
would not feel non- violent towards
D
Said he wasn't looking,
A
maybe he had had a bit too much
Bm
It was dark, it was raining,
G
he didn't see the light or some such
A
D
G
It was just one of those things,

Verse 3
D
I asked my local guru the situation
and he gave me this reply
G
While pointing a bony finger up into
D
the general direction of the sky:
"Get on with your own life,
it is not ours to reason why"
G
Said he used to worry about it
once when he was young
Now he doesn't even bother to try
D
He left me with a feeling that what
A
he said was basically sound
Bm
Like a black hole in space, or philosophy,
G
A
useless but profound
D
G
Just one of those things,
Verse 4
D
Tonight I'm gonna take myself
down to my local cafe
G
Gonna get smashed out of my mind,
gonna waste myself away
D
Gonna drink and drink and sink
into that dark abyss
G
I wanna be just like that Viking,
I wanna know if ignorance is truly bliss.
D
Linda's in the cold ground,
Bbdim
Bm
Somewhere out on the highway tonight,
G
A
the drunken engines roar
D
G
It's just one of those things,
