Gun Shy
(10,000 Maniacs)

=====================================================================
this is my rendition of the version that's on the In My Tribe album
=====================================================================


[Intro Chords]
G G G G
Am G D D


G
I always knew that you would take yourself far from home

Am G D
As soon as, as far as you could go

G
By the quarter inch cut of your hair and the army issued

Am G D
green For the past six weeks I can tell Where you've been


[Chorus #1]
G D C
For I knew, I could see it was all cut and dried

G Am G
to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside

D G D
your veins There is a world outside of this room

C G Am G
And when you meet it promise me that you won't meet

D
It with your gun


G Am
now, you are one, one of the brave few It's awful sad we

G D G
need Boys like you I hope the day never comes for here’s

Am G
your live round, son Stock and barrel, safety trigger


D
Here's your gun



[Chorus #2]
G D C
For I knew, I could see it was all cut and dried

G Am G
to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside

D G D
your veins There is a world outside of this room

C G Am G
And when you meet it promise me you won't meet

D G C
It with your gun taking aim no I don’t mean to argue

G C
That they've made a decent boy of you I don't

G D C
mean to spoil your home coming, but Baby brother you

G
would expect me to.



[4 bars of G]

Am G D
Stock and barrel, safety trigger here’s your gun


G
So now does your heart pitter-pat with that patriotic sound

Am G D
When you see the stripes of Old Glory waving




[Chorus #3]
G D C G
For I knew I could see It was all cut and dried to me

Am G
There was soldier's blue blood Streaming inside your

D G D
veins There's a world outside of this room And when

C G Am G
you meet it promise me you won't meet it With

D G C
your gun, taking aim For I don't mean, to argue That

G C G
they've made a decent boy of you I don't mean to spoil

D C D
your home coming My baby brother Jude

G C G C
No I don't mean to hurt you By saying this again

G D C
They're so good at making soldiers But they're not

G
as good at making Men
