[Verse]
C                     G
What if no matter how angry he was

How outraged he was, how furious he was
C                     Em
What if no matter how angry he was
   D            C          G
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

[Verse]
C          G
What if no matter how right he was
    D                    G
How wrong they were, how evil they were
C                     G

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
 
[Bridge]
D                       G
No rifle, no pistol, no shot gun in sight
D                            G
No revolvers, automatics  no assault guns tonight
C
No clips crammed with bullets
   G
anywhere to be found
   A7                  D      D7  D
No weapons just layin around.
 
[Verse]
C                     G
What if no matter how outraged she was
    D                    G
How furious he was, how murderous he was
C                     G
What if no matter how outraged he was
   D            C          G
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
       D            C          G
No, he couldn't lay hands on a gun?
 
[Bridge 2]
      D
If he dug through his pickup,
    G
the back seat, the trunk
    D                                 G
The basement, the attic, piles of old junk
         C        G
And came up empty-handed again and again
        A7                 D
Tell me, what would he do then?
 
[Outro]
C                     G
What if no matter how angry he was
    D                    G
How outraged he was, how furious he was
C                     Em
What if no matter how angry he was
   D            C          G
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
   D            C          G
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
