Am                  G Am                    F G
Sweet child, in time,    you'll see the line
                             Am           G Am
The line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll

If you've been bad, oh Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
You'd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

I wanna hear you screaming

Sweet child, in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes (Ooohhhh)
You'd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

Ah, I gotta hear you screaming

Oh, oh, oh
Oh God, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh God, no
They're gonna do it
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
