Introduction: A
A A7
At the foot of the bed, lay the clarinet
D Dm
and the light bled onto the carpet
A A7
The fan by the stove was left on
D Dm
and the noise of the bus was a frightful song
A A7
At the foot of the bed waits a man
D Dm
buttoning his jacket with his hand
A E D
It's 4 o'clock he tells her it's time
A E D
She nods her head and kisses goodbye, goodbye
A E D
The snake of a shadow jumps to the floor
F A
and a hearbeat closes with the doors
A A7
Car is parked - eight blocks west
D Dm
he finds the keys - his cable-knit vest
A A7
On the highway he stopped for an accident
D Dm
the cars all waved - in acknowledgment
A E D
As he drives by the ambulance hes getting around traffic
A E D
He glances to his sidecar's crushed and kisses dispatching
A E D
The voices outisde were calling where the bodies had fallen
A A7 D Dm A
And now his tires roll over the map of blood on the highway
A7 D Dm A
Making very strange color making very strange smells
A A7 D Dm
And soon it'll be the rain that washes all this away
A E D
He's pulling into his house his wife is working till 5
A E D
While the white exhaust bumper cars travels into the sky
A E D
He'll sing his song to sleep with a rhythm soft and deep, singing
A A7
Shotgun, I got a shotgun
D F
Shotgun, I got a shotgun
A E D F A A7
Oh little boy, I got a shotgun
D F
Shotgun, I got a shotgun
A E D F A A7
Oh little boy, I got a shotgun
D F
Shotgun, I got a shotgun
A E D F A
Oh little boy, I got a shotgun
