Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Dsus2][Dm][Bb]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
We were [Am]raised
at the O .K. Corral
Yosemite
[Dm]Sam, the Kid and Wild Bill
The fig[D]ures who [Am]fight
our imagination
Original [Dm]founders of the
gunpowder [Am]nation[Dm]
We dynam[Am]ited the political scribes
On the sacred rock [Dm]of the
original tribes
Hammered a [Am]plan to connect to the east
And built it on the [D]broken
backs of the [Dm]Chinese
So if you [Am]wanna know why
we're under the [G]gun
It's how we were raised
and it's where we come [Dm]from
[Dsus2]You might take [Dm]a bulle[Am]t for a better plan
[G]But you can't take the gun[D]
from the [Dm]American[D][G]
[Dm]
The [Am]beginning of the forever hurt
Stealing black [D]people to [Dm]suffer our work
[D]If I [Adim]hear you say ag[Am]ain,
that was so long ago
It's got nothing to [Dm]do with
the cops in Chicago,
[Am]then you turn on your TV
and you suck a Fox News
You hate all the [Dm]muzzles
but you're cool with the Jews
Until you're [D]sickened [Dm]with the [Am]fervor
of your stereotypes
Well here comes your [Dm]party,
cause the picking is right
[D]And if you wan[Dm]na kno[Am]w why
we're under the [G]gun
It's how we were raised,
and it's where we come [Dm]from
[Dsus2]You might take [D]a bulle[Am]t for a better plan
[G]But you can't take the gun[D]
from the [Dsus2]Amer ican[Dm][D][Dsus2]
[D]Slipper[Esus4]y slope i[Am]s how the
party line goes
Background [Esus4]check,
[Ebdim]there go the dom i[F]noes[Am][Cm]
[Am]While you hold up your [Em].47s[Am]
This isn't that century
[Dm]It's not [F]the Brit[Am]ish coming
Here's some advice
And you might want to try it
[Adim]If you live by i[D]t, you d[Dm]ie by it[D]
You think those weapon [Am]makers
love your liberty
[Adim]They're collect[Baug]ing the[Cm] cash
[D]While they're wat[G]ching you ble[D]ed
If you [Dm]wanna [Am]know [A]why
we're under the [Bm]gun
[G]It's how we were raised
and it's where we come [Dsus2]from
And you might [D]take a
[Am]bullet for a [A]better plan
[G]But you can't take the gun
from the [D]American
[Dsus2]If you wa[D]nna know why[A]
we're under the [Bm]gun
It's how we were [G]raised
and it's where we [Am]come [D]from
You might take a [Am]bullet for a better [A]plan
[Bm]But you can't take the[G]
gun [D]from the American
The Amer[Dsus2]ican's hand
