A Amaj7 D Dm

[Verse]
                    A
Said you're gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river
A
Shoot me down, put my body in the river
D                            Dm
While the whole world sings, sing it like a song
D                                   Dm
The whole world sings like there's nothing going wrong

[Verse]
A
He shot her down, he put her body in the river
A
He covered her up but I went to get her
D                     Dm
And I said, "My girl, what happened to you now?"
D                  Dm
I said, "My girl, we gotta stop it somehow"

A 
Ooooooohhh... x2

D   Dm
     ooooohh... 

[Chorus]
    A                              Amaj7
Oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
   D                          Dm
Gonna do for a world that's so sick and sad?
A                         Amaj7
Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand

  D                        Dm
Gonna do for a world that's so gone mad?

[Verse]
A
He's gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river
A
Cover me up with the leaves of September
D                     Dm
Like an old sad song, you heard it all before
D                       Dm
Well, Delia's gone but I'm settling the score
 
A 
Ooooooohhh... x2

D   Dm
     ooooohh... 

[Chorus]
A                                   Amaj7
Oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
 D                              Dm
Gonna do for a world that's just dying slow?
A                            Amaj7
Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
D                                   Dm
Gonna do for his daughter when it's her turn to go?
