Intro: Am 

           G             D 
If I had a gun you'd be dead 
           Am                 Em            
One to the heart, one to the head 
           G                 D              
If I had a gun I'd wipe it clean 
         Am                   Em            
My fingerprints, off on these sheets 


            D                     Em        
They'd bury you in the cold hard ground 
              D                  Em        
Fist full of dirt would hold you down 
            D                    Em        
They'd bury you in the cold hard ground 
                 D               Em       
Today, the first night I'd sleep sound
