Version 1
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C G
It's the worst that it's been since the last time it happened
G D
It's happening again right in front of our eyes
G C G
There's updated footage, wild speculation
G D G G7
Tall tales and hearsay and absolute lies
C G
Been passed off as factual when actually, the actual
G D
Causes they're awkwardly blockin' the way
G C G
Keeping us all from enjoyin' our evening
G D G
Shoving its roots through the screens in our face
[Verse 2]
G C G
Now, what would you get if you heard my opinion
G D
Conjecturin' on matters that I ain't never dreamed
G C G
In all my born days as a white boy from Hickman
G D G G7
Based on the way that the world's been to mе?
C G
It's called me belligеrent, it's took me for ignorant
G D
But it ain't never once made me scared just to be
G C G
Could you imagine just constantly worryin'
G D G
Kickin' and fightin', beggin' to breathe?
[Verse 3]
G C G
How many boys could they haul off this mountain
G D
Shoot full of holes, cuffed and laid in the streets
G C G
Til we come in to town in a stark ravin' anger
G D G G7
Looking for answers and armed to the teeth?
C G
Thirty aught sixes, Papaw's old pistol
G D
How many, you reckon, would it be, four or five?
G C G
Or would that be the start of a long, violent history
G D G
Tuckin' our tails as we try to abide?
[Outro]
G C G
Would that be the start of a long, violent history
G D G
Tuckin' our tails as we try to abide?
