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


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

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

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

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

                     D
        It with your gun


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

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

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

Here's your gun



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                        G
        would expect me to.



[4 bars of G]

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


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

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




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

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

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

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

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

        G                    C

  G           C
saying this again

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

                  G
as good at making Men
