The Gun

	  		Intro:  Em  Am  C  G/B 
        Am  Dm  C/E 

Am 
Back then it was only fun, something we'd always done 
                                  C G/B 
Smash it up, and then you run, all that without a gun 
Am 
But something came up one day, some bills you couldn't pay 
                            F C/E 
And you got carried away, oh so far away 

Dm                   Am 
They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya 
C                              G 
They make your Father singing "Hallelujah" 
Dm                Am 
I wanna help ya, so let me help ya 
C 
I gotta ask you, buddy 
G 
Where did you find the gun? 

Dm                 Am 
I ask everybody have they seen ya 
F                             C 
You tell 'em you're fine and they believe ya 
Dm                Am 
Gimme a call & I see through ya 
G                           E 
You wasted your life, where did you find the gun?

Am 
Holy Man's only son, your mother on ironlung 
                           C G/B 
No money from anyone, but now you've got the gun 
Am 
Stick up on 2nd Street, I heard you running feet 
                           F C/E 
Lay down, get a seat and beg them for mercy 

Dm                   Am 
They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya 
C                              G

Em                   Am 
By an accident you find yourself 
           Dm                     G 
From the slammer with too much friends 
Em                           Am 
You shot an officer, you shot him down 
Dm                C 
Now your young life is gone 
         Bm             Am            G 
You're older than you are, you're gone 
E 
Because you had the gun

You try to hide away but they have seen ya

Where did you find the gun?
