A-

[Verse 1]
             C                    D-           A-
If there's a good man in you, you killed him today
         C                            D-             A-
Took him out for a drink and then you put him in his grave
          C                  D-            A-
Drove him outside a town far away from his house
            C                       D-           A-
So when the bullet rang out, no one else heard a sound

[Verse 2]
             C                     D-          A-
If there's a good man in you, he's dead in the dirt
             C               D-        A-
But he'll be survived by the people he hurt
         C                         D-             A-
Then they'll gather in masses, for him, they will mourn
  C                     D-           A-
A prodigal son from the day you were born

[Chorus]
F     C            D-
Ooh ooh, what have you become?
F     C                D-
Ooh ooh, you were your mother's son
F     C                D-
Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know
F     C            D-
Ooh ooh, I wish it spared you
C         E-      G          A-
In with a cry and out with a gun

[Interlude]
A-
F   C   G   D-   A-

[Verse 3]
             C                    D-           A-
If there's a good man in you, you killed him again
    C                            D-            A-
You poisoned the well of someone you called a friend
              C                          D-               A-
I think you'd rather they hate you but I don't think they do
             C                             D-     A-
They're just sad you keep killin' the good men in you


[Chorus]
F     C            D-
Ooh ooh, what have you become?
F     C                D-
Ooh ooh, you were your mother's son
F     C                D-
Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know
F     C            D-
Ooh ooh, I wish it spared you
C         E-      G               A-
In with a cry and out, oh, with a gun

[Bridge]
A- E
          F          C                    G
God as my witness, I hate to see you this way
E                     F              C                        G
  And I believe in forgiveness but I don't know if people can change
  D-
You tell me
  A-
You tell me

[Chorus]

F     C            D
Ooh ooh, what have you become?
F     C                D
Ooh ooh, you were your mother's son
F     C                D
Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know
F     C            D
Ooh ooh, I wish it spared you
C         E-      G          A-
In with a cry and out with a gun
