2nd Guitar: All open chords >>> 16th notes in the same pattern as the lead

C
Shoot from the back,
Am
take good aim,
Em
Make sure I'm dead
Em
Bang Bang

C
'Cause I'm a rat
Am
there's no mistake
Em
Under the bed
Em
where you sleep

C
Crush the skull

make me tame
Em
Sweep it up
Em
Hide it away

C
No morals shown
Am
in no way explained

Stupid human
Em
Shit for brains**

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**

Throw your judgments
across the breeze
Bag and burn
Bang Bang***

You live inside
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**

Am   Am
Bang Bang

Get some sleep
or lie in wait
Until the day
I run away

Forget the corpse
present the case
to bring me down
and lose your words

I'll follow you
into the grave
and at the gates
I see the passing say,

"The judge be judged,
and all the rich be saved."
I throw my curse
all across your days**

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**

Throw your judgments
across the breeze
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**

You live inside
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**

Am   Am
Bang Bang

C  Am  Em  Em
C  Am  Em  Em

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days

Throw your judgments
across the breeze

Watch them float off
to never be saved

You live inside
your Jesus dream**

C  Am  Em  Em
C  Am  Em  Em
