Im A Gun

[Verse 1]

Gb F  Em
I was born in the blast of a furnace
 of steel
Gb F  Em
And I wondered what shape I would be
Gb F  Em
I was hard, I was cold, I was just a
 day old
Gb F  Em
And I wondered what future I'd see
Gb F   Em
Then a rough pair of hands fashioned
 peaces of steel
Gb F  Em
And a handle of smooth silky wood
Gb F   Em
And an arm held me out

While the eye of the man
Gb F  Em
kept staring as hard as he could

[Verse 2]

Gb F  Em
I was fitted with bullets, with 
jackets of steel
Gb F     Em
And then taken outside in the light
Gb F    Em
Then he aimed me direct at a man on 
a horse
Gb F    Em
And his hands squeezed me tighter 
than tight
Gb F  Em
A bursting of fire exploded inside 
me sent
Gb F  Em
flying a comet of heat
Gb F   Em
As the smoke cleared the way

Continues after the ad

I could see straight ahead
Gb F  Em
the man who layed dead in the street


[Chorus]

Em
I'm a gun, I'm a gun
Til the day that man destroys me I'm
   G   B
 a gun
             Em
It's not the gun that kills a man
         Am                        
It's the man who fires the gun that
         C
 kills a man
             B                Em D
It's not the gun that kills a man
 Em

[Verse 3]

G Gb Fm
I tried to call out but my steel has
 no tongue
G Gb   Fm
And to men I am only a slave
G Gb Fm
I've never forgotten that terrible 
day
G   Gb   Fm
And that man that I couldn't save
G  Gb  Fm
No one knows what it means to be 
held in a hand
G  Gb Fm
To be pointed and triggered to kill
G  Gb Fm
To be labeled a gun with no power to
 stop
G   Gb  Fm
All the blood that man shooting will
 spill

[Verse 3]

G Gb Fm
It's a pity a man cannot live to the
 the
G Gb Fm
Ache of a mountain the desert or the
 sea
G Gb Fm
Only then would he learn that to 
kill or be killed
G Gb Fm
Wasn't something that need to be
G Gb Fm
Maybe someday somehow when all men 
will meet
G Gb Fm
They will bury their guns in the 
ground
G Gb Fm
I hope that they bury me deep so 
deep
G Gb Fm
So deepthat I'm never be found



[Chorus 2]

Fm
I'm a gun, I'm a gun
Til the day that man destroys me I'm
   Ab C
 a gun
             Fm
It's not the gun that kills a man
         Bbm                       
It's the man who fires the gun that
         Db
 kills a man
             C                Fm
It's not the gun that kills a man

          G Gb Fm
