Note:
I know DBT tunes down but I always try to make it fit a standard tuning which requires a capo and
it’s not going to give you an exact sound. If you tune down 1 whole step and play this in D, you
will be able to get the sound the mp3 has.

He kept a loaded gun in the closet and another one in the dresser drawer
F C
Just in case the one in the closet didn’t make a big enough hole
C C7 F
She had his breakfast ready every morning and his lunch in a box sitting out by the kitchen door
G F G F
She’d make sure he had everything he needed and hug his neck and tell him how much she loved him
C
and it was beautiful, you should have seen it
C C7
Then she’d make herself a pot of coffee, just the way she liked it
F C
And sit down and enjoy the quiet of the house all alone
G F G F C
By two-o-clock or so every afternoon, the quiet would start getting to her and she’d watch
the clock until he came back home.
F G
And she understood just what he needed
F C
when he came home every evening
Am F C
Just a couple of beers and a couple of minutes to cuss about his day
F G
So she’d fix him a nice hot supper
C
while he ranted and raved about one thing or the other
Am G F
And she never once told him what he was going on about didn’t add up to a thing.
G F
And she never touched that gun in the closet.
G F
It was his and it was there just because he wanted it to be.
G F C
She didn’t get out much, so she never knew just what it was that made him so afraid

C C7
Most women today would say she was a disgrace, most men would say she wasn’t much to look at
F C
And they’d all would say she’d be a lot better off if she cared a little bit more about what they all think
C C7 F
She could have a life of her own if she had a little pride, some silicone implants and another man on the side
G F
But she’s got a loaded gun in the closet.
G F
And it’s there anytime she wants it.
G F C
And her one and only man knows it and that’s why he put it there in the first place
