Machine gun man

	  		E 
Tell me what a young man Mama 
          D            A9 
What's he got to live for 
 D              A9       D         E 
Tossed in the shuffle of everyday war 
E 
Searchin' for some trouble 
           D            A9 
Which I'm sure he will find 
D                A9 
Spend your whole life fightin' son 
         D          E 
Meet your dyin' time  

Refrão: 
      A9 
It's a shame 
      A9/G# 
It's a shame 
    A9/G              A9/F# 
The trigger be his only friend 
      A9      A9/G# 
It's a shame, oh yeh 
       B5 
But it ain't no never  
       A9 
But it ain’t never gonna end  

       A9            E 
He's a pocketful of hate 
      A9           E 
That don't give a damn 
A9        B5           D         A9       D A9 
What fate awaits the machine gun man?    Oh yeaaah 
         E            A9 
Well, he ain't got no future 
       E             A9 
And he ain't got no plan 
          B5           D         A9      D A9 
What fate awaits the machine gun man?  


E 
I can't see tomorrow 
       D          A9 
And I don't see today 
  D          A9                 D          E 
Trail of confusion, mama, done leadin' my way 
E 
Say only thing worth killin' Lord 
D         A9 
Be killin' time 
D          A9 
Only soul worth savin' now Mama 
 D        E 
Resavin' mine  


      A9 
It's a shame 
      A9/G# 
It's a shame 
    A9/G              A9/F# 
The trigger be his only friend 
      A9      A9/G# 
It's a shame, oh yeh 
       B5 
But it ain't no mama  
       A9 
But it ain’t never gonna end    That`s right! 

       A9            E 
He's a pocketful of hate 
      A9           E 
That don't give a damn 
A9        B5           D         A9       D A9 
What fate awaits the machine gun man?    Oh yeaaah 
         E            A9 
Well, he ain't got no future 
       E             A9 
And he ain't got no plan      Ohhhhh 
          B5           D         A9      D A9 
What fate awaits the machine gun man?   Ohhhhhhh 

B5                            A9                 E 
He keeps shootin' oh mama like any old fool would do 
B5                                   A9               E 
Lord, the life he be leadin' ain't the one he has to choose 
B5 
As he walks on out that door 
A9                    E 
Mama breaks down to cry 
B5                D 
As she waves the machine gun man 
A9 
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...

A idéia dessa versão é simplificar a música em acordes básicos, pra poder tocar e cantar sem precisar mandar perfeitamente todos os riffs e licks da música original. 
Essa letra e cifra foi embasada na versão da música em voz e violão pelo Zakk Wylde. Para maiores detalhes, ver vídeo: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=gOv0a119E4o 
A letra também foi adaptada, dentro do possível, para essa versão, já que ele insere algumas palavras diferentes e some com outras.
