The Bible And The Gun

verse 1 D G He laid 'em both out on the bed so he could take a look D G At those six blued steel chambers & Mr. Gideon's Book D G The more he drank, the more his head got filled with doubt D G One's a harder road, One's the Easy Out Pre-Chorus Bm G The Devil on his shoulder said, "Just go ahead" Bm A But the Angel in the room said, "You ain't through here yet" [Refrão]Chorus D Em And the tickin' of the clock pounds like a drum when you're flirtin' with the trigger to Kingdom Come G A And you wouldn't want your mama to see you this way or the preacher that put you under water that day D Em One hand holds the key to life, the other holds the darkest light G A And the fool between 'em thinks he has to pick one, the bible or the gun Solo D Em G A verse 2 D G He was drifting through the pages of his past regrets D A 'Til he stumbled on the part about "The Valley of the Shadow of Death" D G And he felt as old as time, but he felt brand new D A When he drowned that Smith & Wesson at the bottom of the Motel pool [Refrão] Chorus D Em And the tickin' of the clock pounds like a drum when you're flirtin' with the trigger to Kingdom Come G A And you wouldn't want your mama to see you this way or the preacher that put you under water that day D Em One hand holds the key to life, the other holds the darkest light G A And the fool between 'em thinks he has to pick one, the bible or the gun Bridge Bm F#m Walkin' On Water, Back In Galilee G A Don't mean near as much to him as the Miracle in Room 23, yeah Solo Bm F#m G A [Refrão]Chorus D Em Yeah, he walked through the darkest night and he washed his sins in the morning light G A He's thankful for each & every breath that comes G A D He looks back on the battle that God won between the bible and the gun Outro Em G A D Em G
