A couple weeks ago I posted the chords for the acoustic version

of the song Gun Shy. I screwed it up pretty good, though (actually

I confused some related chords) so here's a corrected version.

G G G G

Am G D D

[G]I always knew that you would

Take yourself far from home

As [Am]soon as, as [G]far as

You could go[D]

By the [G]quarter inch cut of your hair

And the army issued green

For the [Am]past six weeks I can tell [G]

Where you've been[D]

{c: Chorus #1}

For I knew,[G] I could see [D]

It was [Am]all cut and dried to me [G]

There was sold[Am]ier's blue blood

[G]Streaming inside your veins [D]

There's a [G]world outside of this room [D]

And when you [Am]meet it promise [G]me

That [Am]you won't [G]meet it

With your [D]gun

For now,[G] you are one

One of the brave few

It's so [Am]awful sad that we need [G]

Boys like you [D]

I [G]hope the day never comes

For here's your live round, son

Stock and bar[Am]rel, safety trig[G]ger

Here's your gun [D]

{c: Chorus #2}

For I knew[G], I could see [D]

It was all [Am] cut and dried to me [G]

There was sold[Am]ier's blue blood

[G]Streaming inside your veins [D]

There's a wor[G]ld outside of this room [D]

And when you [Am]meet it promise me [G]

That [Am]you won't [G]meet it

With your [D] gun, taking aim

For I don't [G]mean, to [Am]argue

That they've [G]made a decent boy of you [Am]

I don't [G]mean to spoil your home[D]coming, but

[Am]Baby brother, you would expect me to [G]

{c:Instrumental for 4 bars, continue playing G}

Stock and [Am]barrel, safety trigger [G]

Here's your gun [D]

So now [G] does your heart pitter-pat

With that patriotic sound

When you [Am]see the stripes of

[G]Old Glory [D]waving

{c:Chorus #3}

For I knew[G], I could see [D]

It was all [Am] cut and dried to me [G]

There was sold[Am]ier's blue blood

[G]Streaming inside your veins [D]

There's a wor[G]ld outside of this room [D]

And when you [Am]meet it promise [G]me

That [Am]you won't [G]meet it

With your [D] gun, taking aim

For I don't [G]mean, to [Am]argue

That they've [G]made a decent boy of you [Am]

I don't [G]mean to spoil your home[D]coming

My [Am]baby brother [D]Jude

And I don't [G]mean to [Am]hurt you

By [G]saying these things a[Am]gain

They're so [G]good at making sold[D]iers

But they're [Am]not as good at making

[G]Men
