Gun Shy

G  G  G  G
Am G  D  D


G
I always knew that you would take yourself far from home

   Am          G                D
As soon as, as far as you could go

          G
By the quarter inch cut of your hair and the army issued

              Am                   G                 D
green For the past six weeks I can tell Where you've been


        [Chorus #1]
                G             D          C
        For I knew, I could see it was all cut and dried

           G            Am                   G
        to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside

            D               G                     D
        your veins There is a world outside of this room

                   C               G       Am        G
        And when you meet it promise me that you won't meet

                     D
        It with your gun


     G                                      Am
now, you are one, one of the brave few It's awful sad we

G              D     G
need Boys like you I hope the day never comes for here’s

                               Am      G
your live round, son Stock and barrel, safety trigger


            D
Here's your gun



        [Chorus #2]
              G             D          C
        For I knew, I could see it was all cut and dried

           G            Am                   G
        to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside

            D               G                     D
        your veins There is a world outside of this room

                   C               G  Am        G
        And when you meet it promise me you won't meet

                     D                         G       C
        It with your gun taking aim no I don’t mean to argue

                   G                    C
        That they've made a decent boy of you I don't

        G                   D               C
        mean to spoil your home coming, but Baby brother you

                        G
        would expect me to.



[4 bars of G]

          Am             G                   D
Stock and barrel, safety trigger here’s your gun


       G
So now does your heart pitter-pat with that patriotic sound

         Am                 G         D
When you see the stripes of Old Glory waving




        [Chorus #3]
      G            D          C                    G
For I knew I could see It was all cut and dried to me

          Am                   G
There was soldier's blue blood Streaming inside your

D               G                     D
veins There's a world outside of this room And when

C                   G  Am        G
you meet it promise me you won't meet it With

     D                           G        C
your gun, taking aim For I don't mean, to argue That

        G                    C     G
they've made a decent boy of you I don't mean to spoil

     D              C            D
your home coming My baby brother Jude

           G       C           G           C
No I don't mean to hurt you By saying this again

           G              D                    C
They're so good at making soldiers But they're not

                  G
as good at making Men
