Intro:
G+G

Verse 1:
     G+G               C majorC       G+G
It's the worst that it's been since the last time it happened
   G+G                   D MajorD
It's happening again right in front of our eyes
    G+G        C majorC     G+G
There's updated footage, wild speculation
G+G             D MajorD     G+G   G7G7
Tall tales and hearsay and absolute lies

C majorC                G+G
Been passed off as factual when actually, the actual
G+G                  D MajorD
Causes they're awkwardly blockin' the way
G+G           C majorC     G+G
Keeping us all from enjoyin' our evening
G+G               D MajorD       G+G
Shoving its roots through the screens in our face

Verse 2:
   G+G             C majorC     G+G
Now, what would you get if you heard my opinion
G+G                      D MajorD
Conjecturin' on matters that I ain't never dreamed
G+G             C majorC       G+G
In all my born days as a white boy from Hickman
G+G             D MajorD        G+G   G7G7
Based on the way that the world's been to mе?

C majorC                 G+G
It's called me belligеrent, it's took me for ignorant
G+G                        D MajorD
But it ain't never once made me scared just to be
G+G           C majorC     G+G
Could you imagine just constantly worryin'
G+G           D MajorD     G+G
Kickin' and fightin', beggin' to breathe?

Verse 3:
G+G            C majorC       G+G
How many boys could they haul off this mountain
G+G                      D MajorD
Shoot full of holes, cuffed and laid in the streets
    G+G          C majorC      G+G
Til we come in to town in a stark ravin' anger
G+G            D MajorD       G+G   G7G7
Looking for answers and armed to the teeth?

C majorC          G+G
Thirty aught sixes, Papaw's old pistol
G+G                    D MajorD
How many, you reckon, would it be, four or five?
     G+G           C majorC       G+G
Or would that be the start of a long, violent history
G+G            D MajorD    G+G
Tuckin' our tails as we try to abide?

Outro:
   G+G            C majorC      G+G
Would that be the start of a long, violent history
G+G            D MajorD   G+G
Tuckin' our tails as we try to abide?
