Intro:

 G


Verse 1:
 G                                    (C)
Line of limousines leaves one by one
      G
The prayers been prayed, the hymns been sung
  C
Black mascara's already run
                     G
But the tears keep flowin'
          G
You can blame it on hate or blame it on guns

But mama's ain't supposed to bury their sons
        C
Left a hole in her heart and it still ain't done
                     G
The bullet keeps on goin'


Chorus:
        C
Through every branch of his family tree

Every birthday that he'll never see
        G
Every chance to live a good life that was stolen
             C
Through the son he'll never get to raise

His daughter on her wedding day
Em              D                 C
Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
      Em                  D                 C
'Till every heart that's left to break is broken
                     G
The bullet keeps on goin'


Verse 2:
      G
The grass grows back around the stone

And friends stop checkin' in on the phone
     C
The camera crews have all moved on
                      G
But the wound's still open
                     D
The bullet keeps on goin'


Chorus:
        C
Through every branch of his family tree

Every birthday that he'll never see
        G
Every chance to live a good life that was stolen
             C
Through the son he'll never get to raise

His daughter on her wedding day
Em              D                 C
Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
      Em                  D                 C
'Till every heart that's left to break is broken
                     Em    D     C      Em    D    C
The bullet keeps on goooiiiin', yeah


Bridge:
 G
Line of limousines leaving one by one

The prayers been prayed, the hymns been sung
     C
Oh, mama's ain't supposed to bury their sons
                     G
The bullet keeps on goin'


Partial Chorus:
             C
Through the son he'll never get to raise

His daughter on her wedding day
Em              D                 C
Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
      Em                  D                 C
'Till every heart that's left to break is broken
                     G
The bullet keeps on goin', the bullet keeps on goin'


End on G
