Gun Shy

• G

Intro Chords (same as first verse)
(G  G  G  G) 
(Am G  D  D) 

(G)I always knew that you would 
Take yourself far from home 
As (Am)soon as, as (G)far as 
You could go(D) 

By the (G)quarter inch cut of your hair 
And the army issued green 
For the (Am)past six weeks I can tell (G) 
Where you've been(D) 

For I knew,(G) I could see (D) 
It was (Am)all cut and dried to me (G) 
There was sold(Am)ier's blue blood 
(G)Streaming inside your veins (D)

There's a (G)world outside of this room (D) 
And when you (Am)meet it promise (G)me 
That (Am)you won't (G)meet it 
With your (D)gun 

For now,(G) you are one 
One of the brave few 
It's so (Am)awful sad that we need (G) 
Boys like you (D) 

I (G)hope the day never comes 
For here's your live round, son 
Stock and bar(Am)rel, safety trig(G)ger 
Here's your gun (D) 

For I knew(G), I could see (D) 
It was all (Am) cut and dried to me (G) 
There was sold(Am)ier's blue blood 
(G)Streaming inside your veins (D)

There's a wor(G)ld outside of this room (D) 
And when you (Am)meet it promise me (G) 
That (Am)you won't (G)meet it 
With your (D) gun, taking aim 

For I don't (G)mean, to (Am)argue 
That they've (G)made a decent boy of you (Am) 
I don't (G)mean to spoil your home(D)coming, but 
(Am)Baby brother, you would expect me to (G) 


Instrumental for 4 bars, continue playing (G) 
Stock and (Am)barrel, safety trigger (G) 
Here's your gun (D) 

So now (G) does your heart pitter-pat 
With that patriotic sound 
When you (Am)see the stripes of 
(G)Old Glory (D)waving 

For I knew(G), I could see (D) 
It was all (Am) cut and dried to me (G) 
There was sold(Am)ier's blue blood 
(G)Streaming inside your veins (D)

There's a wor(G)ld outside of this room (D) 
And when you (Am)meet it promise (G)me 
That (Am)you won't (G)meet it 
With your (D) gun, taking aim 

For I don't (G)mean, to (Am)argue 
That they've (G)made a decent boy of you (Am) 
I don't (G)mean to spoil your home(D)coming 
My (Am)baby brother (D)Jude 

And I don't (G)mean to (Am)hurt you 
By (G)saying these things a(Am)gain 
They're so (G)good at making sold(D)iers 
But they're (Am)not as good at making 
(G)Men
