_ This song's called Put Down the Gun. _
_ _ Yeah, man. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ On the hills [F] outside of town, there's a hiding _ place. _
_ _ Where [Bb] the green fields sway with lavender, mustard and Queen Anne's lace.
Where the [F] silent clouds go sailing in a sea of [Bb] Dutchman's blue.
And the lonesome tracks by the railroad cut make [F] me think of you [C] and the train we miss.
_ _ [F] I loved you from the first time I looked upon your _ _ _ face.
_ Though [Bb] I didn't know your story, I could feel your wild grace.
Now you [Dm] got [F] yourself in trouble, oh that ain't [Bb] nothing new.
Through thick and thin, there's always been someone watching over [Gm]
you.
[F] But you can put down, _ you can put down [Bb] your gun.
_ You can put down [F] your gun.
_ You can put down [Bb] your gun. _
Well, [F] you grew up on a street where the cops don't go along.
[Dm] In a town just like [Bb] a wishing well, you were cast in like a stone.
[F] Put down, _ you can put down [Bb] your gun.
_ [C] Put down your gun [Bb] and we'll talk. _ _
_ [F] Now your friends all throw their lives away just making the rounds. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Cause they can't see the difference between the shepherds and the clouds.
That go knocking down [F] doors by the [Bb] roadsides everyday.
Selling something you don't want at a price you don't have to pay.
[F] Cause you can put down, you can put down your [Bb] gun.
You [Gm] can put down your [F] gun.
_ _ [C] You can put down [Bb] your gun.
_ _ [F] Well, it's a lonely road you travel that's led you to this wall.
It's a road that's come [Bb] unraveled like it ain't no road at all.
_ [F] So put down, you can put down your gun.
[C] Put down your gun and we'll [Bb] _ [F] talk.
Now _ _ [D] I [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ don't want to swear it, but it's something that I heard.
_ _ _ _ The [Dm] gun in the first act always goes [Bb] up in the third. _
I don't want to hurt you and I don't want to fight.
But there'll be no third act at all if someone's [Gm] killed tonight.
So [F] put down, _ you can put [Bb] down your gun.
[Gm] You can put [F] down your gun.
_ [Dm] You can put [Bb] down your gun.
[F] Put down your gun [Bb] and we'll talk.
[Bbm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
