E|--x-----| There's this little hammer on part for
pretty much every time you play the Fmaj7 chord
so basically it's just a downstrum with the open G
then hammer on to 2, then another down strum, then
up down up.
you can listen to the song to see how many
times he plays that for, usually it's twice.
I'm pretty sure during the bridge is the only time
there is no hammer on for the Fmaj7 chord.
[Intro]
Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am
I have a friend of a friend who got shot themself one day
Dm G6
I think most of us have somebody like that who’s gone away
C C/B Am
If she’d had time to think about it maybe she’d be around
Dm G6 Fmaj7
But you get a gun in twenty minutes in this town
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am
I was held up on a train by a kid about fourteen
Dm G6
Ochre-brown and terrified holding a death machine
C C/B Am
And if you think giving me a gun would’ve stopped the whole damn thing
Dm G6 Fmaj7
You’re trying to untangle things by adding extra string
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
It’s a little bit the people that we’ve left outside to drown
Fmaj7 C G6
It’s a little bit the Blackrock rent that’s never going down
C C/B Am
It’s a little bit the internet and the way we raise our sons
Dm G6 Fmaj7
But mostly it’s the guns yeah it’s the guns
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am
I don’t wanna hear any argument you pretend that you believe
Dm G6
Unless you’ll say it to the mother who’s still caught up in her grief
C C/B Am
You’ve been willing to try nothing, your hands thrown in the air
Dm G6 Fmaj7
God I wish I could stop bullets with your thoughts and with your prayers
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am
Did you know laws are made up and the constitution too?
Dm G6
You can change it when mass murder becomes a usual thing we do
C C/B Am
Still I’ve never seen a group of tyrants so determined not to budge
Dm G6 Fmaj7
Sorry we slowed your sales down with our bodies and our blood
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
It’s a little bit the people that we’ve left outside to drown
Fmaj7 C G6
It’s a little bit the Blackrock rent that’s never going down
C C/B Am
It’s a little bit the internet and the way we raise our sons
Dm G6 Fmaj7
But mostly it’s the guns yeah it’s the guns
[Bridge]
C C/B Am
So buy back every gun from police and people too
Dm G6
Change the constitution if that’s what you have to do
C C/B Am
You made up this individual right to carry and feel strong
Fmaj7
But the right for children to grow up is written in the stars
Fmaj7
And the right to live in peace is one that’s given out by God
C A7
And when you’re out of line with that you change the fucking laws
Dm
It’s the guns
G6
It’s the guns
Fmaj7
It’s the guns
[Outro]
Fmaj7
