verse 1
C majorC
One morning after drinking
BB      C majorC
Heavy in the night
FF                           C majorC   FF  C majorC
Every inch of my poor bones seemed to ache and moan in wait
       DmDm
Cause all our troubles come tomorrow
     FF                 Cmaj7Cmaj7
We'll be gone and then it's on to Christmas Day

Pre-Chorus
C majorC
If Jesus had been born
BB        C majorC  FF  C majorC
Just eleven days before
FF
Would the world have stopped to see

At least those on the street
      Cmaj7Cmaj7  FF  C majorC
Headed for Newtown
    DmDm
And of all those on their way
     FF
Could the miracle have made
       C majorC  FF  C majorC
One lay his guns down?

Instrumental Chorus
Fmaj7Fmaj7   Cmaj7Cmaj7
Ooooo

Fmaj7Fmaj7   Cmaj7Cmaj7

verse 2
C majorC
That trigger stole his mind
BB      C majorC  FF  C majorC
How am I to blame
      FF         Cmaj7Cmaj7 FF  C majorC
I bet you never even aimed at one
         DmDm
There's too many people killing people
  FF
To put an end to evil
      C majorC  FF  C majorC
What can be done?

Pre-Chorus
     FF
Well for now who'd like to tell me
        E minorEm    A minorAm
On that morning when 27 fell
    DmDm
How any lesson in counting
      FF               C majorC
Could ever, ever amount to watching them fall
    G+G
And why worst of all
   FF     C majorC     FF
Come Christmas morning
         A minorAm
They'll still be gone

Instrumental Chorus

Oooo...Oooo

BB      C majorC
Heavy in the night
 Fmaj7Fmaj7                          Cmaj7Cmaj7   FF  C majorC

Well this Christmas

My only wish is

We put these guns away
