G                              Am                  C                            G 
My neighbours car got stole last night right  out of his driveway 
                               Am                        C                    G 
We heard the dogs a barking we never  paid  'em any mind 
                                   Am                                   C                         G 
Mary says she's gonna lock the door from now on when we go away 
                                    Am                         C                     D                  
And I've been walkin' around this farm wondering if it's time... 

D                 G                                       Am 
Time to get a gun that's what I've been thinking 
               C                              D 
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinking 
                     G                                          Am 
Time to put something between me & the sun 
                             C                                    
When the talking is over it's time to get a gun 
 
Last week a government man was there 
when I walked out of my back door 
He said I'm sorry to bother ya son 
But it don't matter anymore 
Cause even while we're talking 
right here where we stand 
we're making plans for a 4-lane highway 
and a big old overpass 
 
bridge 
D                                   C 
Mary says she's worried about herself and kids 
         D 
She's never known anybody had a gun  
             C 
and her daddy never did 
      D 
But I think it should be up to me  
                          C 
'Cause when it's all said and done 
D 
Somebody's gotta walk into the night 
        C                         D 
Well I'm gonna be that one 
 
chorus
