G                   A             C               G
I count the corpses on my left I find I'm not so tidy
                             A
So I better get away better make it today
           C                       G
I've cut twenty three down since friday
    D E Esus4     A     Asus4  A
But I   can't control it
    D               E        Esus4   A
My face is drawn my instinct still emotes it

Chorus:
    D                G         D
I slash them cold I kill them dead
    G                 C            A
I broke the gooks I cracked their heads
      D                 G            D
I'll bomb them out from under their beds
     C        F       C
But now I've got the running gun blues

    G                    A
It seems the peacefuls stopped the war
      C                      G
Left Generals squashed and stifled
                    A
But I'll slip out again tonight
             C                     G
'Cause they haven't taken back my rifle
    D E Esus4      A    Asus4 A
For I   promote oblivion
    D  E Esus4         A
And I'll plug a few civilians

Chorus:
I'll slash them cold, I'll kill them dead
I'll break them gooks, I'll crack their heads
I'll slice them till they're running red
But now I've got the running gun blues
