Am D Yes its no use saying that you don't know nothing Am D It's still gonna get you if you don't do something Am G Sitting on a fence that's a dangerous course D Am Oh, you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force C Am Even the hero gets a bullet in the chest Dm G Am Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west Am D Am D Am G D Am C Am Dm G Am Am D Mother Mary your children are slaughtered Am D Some of you mothers ought to lock up your daughters Am G Who's protecting the innocent D Am Heap big trouble in the land of plenty C Am Tell me how were gonna do what's best Dm G Am You guess once upon a time in the west Dm G Am Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west 3x * Alternate: Capo III Am = F#m F = D G = E D = B C = A Set8
