The Bullet & Big D
Bishop Allen
EP. Collection Vol.1
This song is a few cents flat, so make sure you tune down if you're gonna play along.
I apologize for the spacing of the chords. While they originally were perfectly spaced
with the chord changes, Ultimate Guitar isn't too friendly with Macs.
A E
On Monday Dealey Plaza fills
A E C#m
with people on the way
A E
to the court houses and meeting rooms
C#m E D
but me, I'm free today
D E
And I traced the path the motorcade
A D
took back in sixty-three:
D E A D
past the grassy knoll into the book depository.
A D A D
They put in a museum where they say the shots were fired.
A D
It's closed today but I don't mind;
E
I'm already getting tired.
A E
There's photographs and headlines
A E C#m
and diagrams of the street.
A E
They’re showing the Zapruder film;
C#m E D
it's always on repeat.
D E
Last night I dreamt I was the bullet
A D
from frame 313;
D E A D
the one that scattered his head around the limousine.
A D A D
I was right there for his final thoughts of John John and Jackie
D E A
and oh my God Big D.
Interlude:
A, A, A, E, D, x4
A E A E C#m
Back then everybody worried further to the south.
A E C#m E D
Missiles screamed across Miami, trail and fall out.
D E A D
Teachers drilled their students hiding underneath their desks
D E A D
to fear the twitchy trigger finger of old Krushchev.
A D A D
But Cuba couldn't kill nobody, not like Dallas could.
A D E
When I was growing up there, I understood
A E
Remember when I’d pick you up
A E C#m
outside your mothers house?
A E C#m E D
The two of you were fighting, and we promised we'd get out
D E A D
Out far from the narrowness and the confines and the doubt.
D E A D
We'd leave behind all that we know and never turn around.
A D A D
Cut the strings and tear away from all that kept us down
D E A
and oh my god big D

Now I fly out of Laguardia, or out of JFK
A E C#m E D
and I land at DFW and I drive down LBJ
D E A D
and the houses and the shopping centers, don't make me afraid.
D E A D
Why they ever did, it's hard now to explain
A D A D
But you, you never really left, for you was it the same?
D E A
And oh my god Big D
Interlude:
A, A, A, E, D, x4
A E A E C#m
November 22nd I was at the kitchen sink
A E C#m E D
Just like everyone remembers where they were in ’63.
D E A D
The shudder that shot through me with that unexpected call.
D E A D
I locked the bathroom door and hit my fist against the wall.
A D A D
I should of come to rescue you, I should have should have yes
A D E
What happened in the past ten years, I coulda guessed
A E A E C#m
Remember when I’d carry you, and lay you in your bed?
A E C#m E D
And promised to take care of you, but I just left instead.
D E A D
Last night I dreamt I was the pills you swallowed down.
D E A D
I tried to come back up, but you wouldn't let me out.
A D A D
And I couldn't help but wonder, did think of me?
D E A
and oh my god big D
