Tom: Bm

A                                         Em
Another Day another crazy loner with a gun
                                           A
Another mad jihahi's done what cannot be undone
D                  C#7   F#m             G
The congressperson semi-automatically declares
A                      F#         E                     A
To the victims of this tragedy we send our thoughts and prayers

[Verse 2]
A                                              Em
If guns are regulated well we're on a slippery slope
                                                     A
To common sense and public safety, reason, peace and hope
D                     C#7           F#m                G
But rest assure we've got the issue square in our crosshairs
A                      F#         E                     A
To the victims of this tragedy we send our thoughts and prayers

[Verse 3]
A                                                                    Em
"Aim high", we say. "Shoot straight", we say. "Go for the kill", we shout.
                                                          A
We've got the enemy in our sights. We say "Let's take 'em out".
D                     C#7           F#m       G
We want you armed and dangerous our candidate declares
A                      F#         E                     A
And to the victims of this tragedy we send our thoughts and prayers

[Bridge 1]
D
Let's pass conceal and carry
A
So Curly, Moe, and Larry
Bm
can act like Dirty Harry
C          D        G      E
Now let us pray for peace

[Verse 4]
A                              Em
And throw another AK-47 in the cart
                                                      A
For hunting deer, of course, who might be shopping at Wal-mart
D              C#7                 F#m             G
We answer to a higher truth called what the market bears
A                      F#         E                     A
And to the victims of this tragedy we send our thoughts and prayers

[Verse 5]
A                                              Em
The tree of liberty is watered with a tyrant's blood
                                               A
Yes, so said Thomas Jefferson. Or was it Elmer Fudd?
A
(The twee of wibety is watered with a tywant's blood eh-ehe-eh-ee)
D                C#7           F#m        G
For bloody insurrection a true patriot prepares
A                      F#         E                     A
And to the victims of that tragedy we send our thoughts and prayers

[Bridge 2]
F                            C
I love that second amendment remedy
F                     C        D
And so I'm voting for Yosemite-Sam
Em
Yes I am! Yes I am! Yes I am!

[Verse 6]
A                                                    Em
Take comfort - I mean cover, it's a problem we can't fix
                                                         A
There's nothing certain in this world 'cept guns and lunatics
D                       C#7            F#m             G
Our words say 'we're so sorry' and our action say 'who cares'
A
And to the victims of this tragedy...
F                             E
and every subsequent tradgedy we'll send only our thoughts and prayers
