D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Oh Mother are you sleepin'?
D MajorD     Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
 Did you pray for me tonight?
     D MajorD  Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
Cause I'm alone  here on this front line
     D MajorD  Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
Hoping I might   get back home alive.
 D MajorD    Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
  I see the bullets flyin',
 D MajorD    Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
  And I feel the bombs explode.
      D MajorD  Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
I close my eyes   and pull this trigger
         D MajorD  Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
And kill these people  I don't even know.

    For these things that I have seen and done.
       D MajorD   Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
    I hope I can still get home to heaven.
           D MajorD   Cadd9Cadd9          G+G
    I wish I had a bible   Instead of this damn gun.

Instead of this damn gun.

Oh, I wish that I could tell you
I was safe away from harm,
But everytime I close my eyes
Mama, I wish you could hold me in your arms.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.

I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

Oh, I wish I had a bible
