G D C G


[Verse]

G
What you go and do
           D
You go and give the boy a gun
          C
Now there ain't place to run to
                      G
Ain't no place to run


[Verse]

G
When he hold it in his hand
        D
He feel mighty he feel strong
          C
Now there ain't no place to run to
                      G
Ain't no place to run


[Verse]

G
One day he may come back
      D
Repay us for what we've done
     C
Then where you gonna run to
                    G
Where you gonna run


[Chorus]
             C
But one fine day
    Em                   C
All our problems will be solved
N.C.
Bang bang bang
                G     D C  G D C
We'll shoot him down


[Verse]
         G
Give him drugs and give him candy
D
Anything to make him think he's happy
    C
And he won't ever come for us
                   G
He won't ever come


[Chorus]
          C
But if he does
               Em           C
And if there's no one else around
N.C.
Bang bang bang
                G     D C  G D C
We'll shoot him down


[Verse]
            G
If he preys only on his neighbors
         D
Brothers sisters and friends
         C
We'll consider it a favor
                       G
We'll consider justice done


[Chorus]
          C
But if he comes for you or me
           Em                 C
And we can place a gun in his hand
N.C.
Bang bang bang
                G     D C  G D C
We'll shoot him dead


[Verse]
G
What you go and do
           D
You go and give the boy a gun
          C
Now there ain't no place to run to
                      G
Ain't no place to run


[Verse]
G
Now we'll all be at his mercy
      D
If he decides to hunt us down
            C
Cause there ain't no place to run to
                      G
Ain't no place to run


[Verse]
G
If he wants the chances that you took from him
    D
And nothing that you own
              C
Then there'll be no place to run to
                            G
There'll be no place to run


[Chorus]
          C
And if he finds himself to be
  Em               C
A reflection of us all
N.C.
Bang bang bang
               G     D C
He'll shoot us down


[Chorus]
C
Before you can raise your eyes to read
    Em             C
The writing on the wall
N.C.
Bang bang bang
                G     D C
He'll shoot you down


[Chorus]
C
Before you can bridge the gulf between
      Em                C
And embrace him in your arms
N.C.
Bang bang bang
                     G
He'll shoot you down
