F                     C
What if no matter how angry he was,
    G7                   C
How outraged he was, how furious he was,
F                     C
What if no matter how angry he was,
   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

[Verse]
F                     C
What if no matter how right he was,
    G7                   C
How wrong they were, how evil they were,
F                     C
What if no matter how right he was,
   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

[Bridge]
   G7                    C
No rifle, no shotgun, no pistol in sight,
     G7                        C
No revolvers, automatics, no assault guns tonight,
   F                             C
No clips crammed with bullets anywhere to be found,
   D                    G
No weapons just laying around.

[Verse]
F                     C
What if no matter how outraged he was,
    G7                  C
How furious he was, how murderous he was,
F                     C
What if no matter how outraged he was,
   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

[Bridge]
      G7                          C
If he dug through his Chevy, the back seat, the trunk,
    G7                   C
The attic, the basement, piles of old junk,
     F                C
Came up empty-handed again and again,
D                         G
Tell me, what would he do then?

[Chorus]
F                     C
What if no matter how angry he was,
    G7                   C
How outraged he was, how furious he was,
F                     C
What if no matter how angry he was,
   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
