^A^Dm^D^Dm

Said you're gonna ^Ashoot me down, put my body in the river
^AShoot me down, put my body in the river
^DWhile the whole world sings, ^Dmsing it like a song
^DThe whole world sings like there's ^Dmnothing going wrong

^AHe shot her down, he put her body in the river
^AHe covered her up but I went to get her
^DAnd I said, "My girl, ^Dmwhat happened to you now?"
^DI said, "My girl, ^Dmwe gotta stop it somehow"

^AOoooooohhh... x2
^D^Dmooooohh... 

Oh, ^Aand tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
Gon^Dna do for a world that's ^Dmso sick and sad?
^ATell me what's a man with ^Dma rifle in his hand
Go^Dnna do for a world that's ^Dmso gone mad?

^AHe's gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river
Cover me up with the leaves of September
^DLike an old sad song, ^Dmyou heard it all before
^DWell, Delia's gone but ^DmI'm settling the score
 
^AOoooooohhh... x2
^D^Dmooooohh... 

^AOh, and tell me what's a man with a ^Dmrifle in his hand
Go^Dnna do for a world that's just ^Dmdying slow?
^ATell me what's a man with a ^Dmrifle in his hand
^DGonna do for his daughter when it's ^Dmher turn to go?
