Tom: A
Capo 2nd fret
G Am C G
My neighbours car got stole last night right out of his driveway
Am C G
We heard the dogs a barking we never paid 'em any mind
Am C G
Mary says she's gonna lock the door from now on when we go away
Am C D
And I've been walkin' around this farm wondering if it's time...
D G Am
Time to get a gun that's what I've been thinking
C D
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinking
G Am
Time to put something between me & the sun
C
When the talking is over it's time to get a gun
Last week a government man was there
when I walked out of my back door
He said I'm sorry to bother ya son
But it don't matter anymore
Cause even while we're talking
right here where we stand
we're making plans for a 4-lane highway
and a big old overpass
bridge

Mary says she's worried about herself and kids
D
She's never known anybody had a gun
C
and her daddy never did
D
But I think it should be up to me
C
'Cause when it's all said and done
D
Somebody's gotta walk into the night
C D
Well I'm gonna be that one
