_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] On the hills outside of town there's a hiding _ _ place _ _
[D] Where the green fields sway with lavender, mustard and Queen Anne's lace
[A] Where the silent clouds go sailing in a [D] sea of Dutchman's blue
And the lonesome tracks by the railroad cut make me think [A] of you [E] and the train we missed
I _ _ [A] loved you from the first time I looked upon your _ _ face
Though [D] I didn't know your story I could feel your wild grace
Now [A] you got yourself in trouble, well that ain't [D] nothing new
Looking thin, there's always been someone watching over [A] you
Put down the gun, [F#] put down the [E] gun, put [D] down your gun _
_ _ Put [A] down the gun, put [F#m] down the gun, [E] put [D] down your _ gun
[A] Well [E] you grew up on the street where the cops don't go alone
[D] In a town just like a wishing well you were cast in like a stone
[A] Put down the gun, [F#m] put down the [E] gun, put [D] down your gun
[E] Put down your gun [D] and we'll [A] talk _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Now your friends all throw their lives away just making love _ _ around
_ _ [D] And they can't tell the difference between the shepherds and the clowns
[A] That go knocking down doors by the roadside [D] every day
Selling something you [A] don't want for a price you don't want to pay
Put down the gun, put down [E] the gun, put [D] down your gun
_ You can [A] put down the gun, put down the [E] gun, put down [D] your _ gun _ _
[E] Well it's a lonely road you've traveled, let's lead you to this [D] wall
Now wood is coming rattle like it ain't no road at [A] all
Put down the gun, [F#m] put down the [E] gun, put [D] down your gun
_ [E] Put down your gun [D] and we'll talk
_ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] Now I don't want to swear it but it's something that I heard
_ A _ _ [D] gun in the first act always goes off in the third
[A] Now I don't want to hurt you, I don't [D] want to fight
But there'll be no third act at all if someone's killed tonight
[A] Put down the gun, [F#m] put down the gun, [E] [D] put down your gun _
[B] You can put down the [A] gun, put [F#m] down the gun, [E] put [D] down your gun
[E] _
Put down your [D] gun and we'll [A] talk _ _
