Give Up Your Guns

Am Em Am Em Am Em When I woke up this morning Am Em I found myself alone. F G I turned to touch her hair, Am G but she was gone, she was gone. Em Am And there beside my pillow Em Am were her tears from the night before. F G She said give up your guns Am Em and face the law. Am Em I robbed a bank in Tampa Am Em and I thought I had it made. F G But the hounds picked up my trails Am G within the Glades, so I ran. Em Am And I stumbled on this cabin Em Am and she came to me once more. F G she said give up your guns Am Em and face the law. Am G C A# F Em I don't wanna leave her, I don’t wanna die A# F Dm Cmaj7 Deep within the cold, cold grave with no one ‘round to cry Am G C A# F Em But I got my pistol, now it’s time to choose A# F Dm Em Shootin' here or hanging there in either way I’ll loose Am Em And now I'm in this cabin Am Em where my own true love should be. F G Instead there lies a note Am G she wrote to me, and it says: Em Am No you can't live by the bullet Em Am but you sure as death can die. F G My love give up your guns Am G don't say goodbye... goodbye. Em Am And the sheriff now is calling Em Am with a shotgun at my door. F G My Son... give up your guns Am and face the law.
