Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F C x2
[Verse 1]
C
One morning after drinking
B C
Heavy in the night
F C F C
Every inch of my poor bones seemed to ache and moan in wait
Dm
Cause all our troubles come tomorrow
F Cmaj7
We'll be gone and then it's on to Christmas Day
[Pre-Chorus]
C
If Jesus had been born
B C F C
Just eleven days before
F
Would the world have stopped to see
At least those on the street
Cmaj7 F C
Headed for Newtown
Dm
And of all those on their way
F
Could the miracle have made
C F C
One lay his guns down?
[Instrumental Chorus]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Ooooo
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
[Verse 2]
C
That trigger stole his mind
B C F C
How am I to blame
F Cmaj7 F C
I bet you never even aimed at one
Dm
There's too many people killing people
F
To put an end to evil
C F C
What can be done?
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Well for now who'd like to tell me
Em Am
On that morning when 27 fell
Dm
How any lesson in counting
F C
Could ever, ever amount to watching them fall
G
And why worst of all
F C F
Come Christmas morning
Am
They'll still be gone
[Instrumental Chorus]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F C
Oooo...yeah
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F C
Oooo...Oooo
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
[Outro]
C
One morning after drinking
B C
Heavy in the night
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F C
I stopped to take a look at the crook that stole this holiday
Dm
Well this Christmas
F
My only wish is
Cmaj7 F C F C
We put these guns away
