Bible Vs Gun

• D

Key of G -> Capo 4 = Key of B
Chords are basically the same throughout.



Intro/verses:   D        Cadd9       G    2x


D  Cadd9          G    
Oh Mother are you sleepin'?
D         Cadd9          G
  Did you pray for me tonight?
          D    Cadd9            G
Cause I'm alone    here on this front line
          D    Cadd9             G
Hoping I might     get back home alive.
 D       Cadd9        G
   I see the bullets flyin',
 D       Cadd9         G
   And I feel the bombs explode.
           D   Cadd9             G
I close my eyes     and pull this trigger
                 D   Cadd9            G
And kill these people    I don't even know.

Chorus playing this:



        D         Cadd9         G
         And Mother, please forgive me
                 D         Cadd9             G
       For these things that I have seen and done.
              D      Cadd9             G
       I hope I can still get home to heaven.
                      D     Cadd9                    G
       I wish I had a bible     Instead of this damn gun.


Interlude goes, very basically, something like this (relative to capo)




Got 60 pounds upon my back.
Machine gun in my hand.
All day long clearin burned out shacks.
All these things I know I'll never understand.

For next chorus a 2nd guitar plays this:


And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
Oh, I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

Oh, I wish that I could tell you
I was safe away from harm,
But everytime I close my eyes
Mama, I wish you could hold me in your arms.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

Oh, I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
