G                          Em
You see the Sunday birds swinging low 
         G                        Em
And the fever in your brain only grows
        C                                    G
And the murder boys they're running down the street
          C                                   G
You can see them through the window from your seat
          D           C            G
Hear the sound of the mightiest of guns

       G                                     Em
When the shadows run like ghosts across your room 
       G                                Em
Do you take your world and burn it in a spoon
    C                            G
A mercy ship to sail you off to sleep
     C                               G
To where the crimson angels swim the deep
               D               C            G
But there's no hiding from the mightiest of guns

      G                            Em
With every breath you drink in the night 
           G                                 Em
Cause you won't give up your blues without a fight
     C                             G
And looking at the sky there is no pain
         C                                   G
And the stars keep falling down like burning rain
            D           C           G
They were fired by the mightiest of guns

   G                       Em
Tomorrow I'll be out of my mind 
     G                                 Em
The bear will dance and the organ will grind
     C                                   G
I'm laughing cause I know there ain't no sin
         C                     G
All the world on the head of a pin
              D           C           G
Turning fast beneath the mightiest of guns
              D           C           G
Turning fast beneath the mightiest of guns
