G
What you go and do
D
You go and give the boy a gun
C
Now there ainŽt place to run to
G D C
AinŽt no place to run
G
When he hold it in his hand
D
He feel mighty he feel strong
C
Now there ainŽt no place to run to
G
AinŽt no place to run
G
One day he may come back
D
Repay us for what weŽve done
C
Then where you gonna run to
G
Where you gonna run
C
But one fine day
Em C
All our problems will be solved
G D C
Bang bang bang! WeŽll shoot him down
G
Give him drugs and give him candly
D
Anything... oh, to make him think heŽs happy
C
And he wonŽt ever come for us
G
He wonŽt ever come
C
But if he does
Em C
And if thereŽs no one else around
G D C
Bang bang bang! WeŽll shoot him down
If he preys only on his neighbors
Brothers, sisters and friends
WeŽll consider it a favor
WeŽll consider justice done
But if he comes for you and me
And we can place a gun in his hand
Bang bang bang! WeŽll shoot him dead
What you go and do
You go and give the boy a gun
Now there ainŽt no place to run to
AinŽt no place to run
Now weŽll all be at his mercy
If he decides to hunt us down
Cause there ainŽt no place to run to
AinŽt no place to run
If he wants the chances that you took from him
And nothing that you own
Then thereŽll be no place to run to
ThereŽll be no place to run
C
And if he finds himself to be
Em C
A reflection of us all
G D C
Bang bang bang! HeŽll shoot us down
C
Before you can raise your eyes to read
Em C
The writing on the wall
G D C
Bang bang bang! HeŽll shoot you down
C
Before you can brigde the gulf between
Em C
And embrace him in your arms
G
Bang bang bang! HeŽll shoot you down
