If This Country Still Had Balls

        G            D            G
Strange man walks in holding his gun
F
Kills somebody and  he’s on the run
C                         D     G
Out the door and into the busy streets
G
Cops chase him around town for an hour or two
F                         Am
Go back home he’s on the evening news
              C                     D              G    D
They tell us it’s alright, they’ve got him in custody
G
Well maybe it’s me but I’m scratching my head
F
Wondering why that s.o.b. aint dead
     C                            D         G       D
When everyone knows it’s him why should we wait?

CHORUS
                G                     D
It’s time we go back to hanging them high
       Am                                    C
Let’s light the torches in the middle of the night
     G                                        Am     C    D
Somewhere along the way we’ve gotten WAY TOO SOFT
    G                                           D
We don’t need a jury when we’ve seen what he’s done
       Am                  C
Just build the gallows and wait for the sun
G                                  D           Am
Get the vigilantes loaded up with justice for all
D                          G        (v1 C       D)   (v2   D    C G     D       C)
IF THIS COUNTRY STILL HAD BALLS

VERSE 2
       G
My tax money pays for nice hot meals
       F
For a killer locked up making more appeals
   C                      D                  G    D
So he can get right back out and do it all again
    G                         D     G
Now I aint saying that a man cant change
         F
But you cant tell right from wrong these days
  C                           D        G    C   D
Unless we send a message they wont forget!

BRIDGE
    G             D            C        D
And I know every man can be redeemed
G                             D                     G   C       D
But if he don’t choose to we better still have plan B
