Weight Of A Trigger chords by Lost Dog Street Band

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

A minorAm   G+G  C majorC  DmDm   A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm


The weight of a trigger is more than you'd figure
              G+G
It's a crutch for Atlas to stand
C majorC            DmDm
And the consequence, in his defense
   A minorAm
was more than he had planned
   G+G        A minorAm
What drives the heart of man

The fall of a hammer is darker and deeper
            G+G
than any grave of ocean sand
      C majorC         DmDm     A minorAm
and the pacifist with broken wrists can only pretend
    G+G        A minorAm
What drives the heart of man


 C majorC             A minorAm
And Lo, behold Mister Samuel Colt
  C majorC       DmDm
Mind the ore, and forge the bore,

and shape and bend a bloody world
   C majorC   G+G      A minorAm
that drives the heart of man


THe spark from the primer gives vision and power
               G+G
Like a newborn in a mothers hand
     C majorC        DmDm     A minorAm
and the holy ghost from Jericho wont save you again
   G+G        A minorAm
what drives the heart of man


the smoke from a barrel is a warning and fable
                G+G
That a soul can rise in your command
       C majorC          DmDm      A minorAm
with your breathing rights and iron sights so you could understand
    G+G       A minorAm
what drives the heart of man

 C majorC             A minorAm
And Lo, behold Mister Samuel Colt
  C majorC       DmDm
Mind the ore, and forge the bore,

and shape and bend a bloody world
   C majorC   G+G      A minorAm
that drives the heart of man


The weight of a trigger is more than you'd figure
              G+G
It's a crutch for Atlas to stand
C majorC            DmDm
And the consequence, in his defense
   A minorAm
was more than he had planned
   G+G        A minorAm
What drives the heart of man
