Em D
Say Judas came up to D.C.
Em D
He'd been down in Georgia for a while
Em D7
He drove a 944, he bought with the soul
Em D7 Em
Of a blonde-headed kid with a left-handed guitar.
D Em
Now he's lookin' for me, Citizen C-O-P-E,

For the fake 50's, now Judas answer me

"Since I was the age to speak, haven't you been listening?"

Em D
Well he came to town found the woman that I love
Em D
And he fucked her down she told him where I live
Em D7
Off of 9th in the alleyway, where they say
Em D7
They got the coke and the dope, until you end up broken
Em D7
"You should have let the smack get you" he said
Em D
"Well now you've got to deal with me instead
Em D7
I'm downstairs on the Motorola, you know
Em D7
I've got 3 golden bullets and I'm shooting for your soul"
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Em D
Well I came down with my Martin blazin'
Em D
My voice, it was cutting him up, now he's aiming
Em D7
His first shot grazed my eye,
Em D7
I lost half of my sight, and my firstborn's life
Em D
And the second shot knocked off my guitar moon
Em D
And it made my guitar kinda play out of tune
Em D7
But I just kept strumming, I got nothing to lose
Em D7
He turned the third on himself cause the bastard knew
[Chorus]
