Intro: D  G  D  G 

Verso 1:
D 
Linda was killed last Saturday about fifteen blocks from where she lives 
     G                                                                                D 
In a car crash, people gathered around the graveside 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                  A 
They say it's God's to give, and God's to take away, 
    Bm                                          G                   A 
But why He happened to pick Linda on a Saturday night, no one could say. 



                D                    G 
Maybe it's just one of those things 
       D 
One of those things 



Verso 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 that even Joan Baez would not feel non-violent towards 
D                                   A 
 Said he wasn't looking, maybe he’d had a bit too much 
       Bm                                      G             A 
It was dark, it was raining, he didn't see the light or some such 
            D                     G 
It was just one of those things, 
       D 
One of those things.

Verso 3:
  D 
I asked my local guru about the situation, and he gave me this reply 
      G 
While pointing a bony finger up into the general direction of the sky: 
 D 
'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                                            A 
 He left me with a feeling that what he said was basically sound 
       Bm                                  G           A 
Like a black hole in space, or philosophy, useless but profound 
     D                     G 
Just one of those things, 
       D 
One of those things. 


Verso 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                                  A 
 Linda's in the cold ground, won't see her anymore 
    Bm                               G                    A 
Somewhere out on the highway tonight, the drunken engines roar 
          D                     G 
It's just one of those things, 
             D 
One of those things.
