Am             F          D        G
You must have somethin' better to do
Am              F         D   G
Than learn to shoot that gun
Am         F          D    G
You could read some history
             Am       F         D   G
See how the West was really won

 A#            A
Kings may come, queens may go
A#            A
Be wary of desire
Dm                      A
For when you think you need it most
G
That gun will misfire

There's a message in Afghanistan
Opium wins the toss
Charlie Wilson, the communists
They had to take a loss

Kings may live, lose their thrones
The junkie's on the wire
You can arm yourself with nukes and drones
That gun will misfire

Chorus:
 C        D            Em
Remember me when I am gone
C         D                Em
I am the fool who got it wrong
      C      D                Em
One thing I said you can rely on
  C              Em
That gun will misfire

D
Could be that fatal click
You'll wish you chose a knife
A little toil, a little foil
Might have changed your life

There is a plague not far from here
Who likes to spread his seed
You may be the willing one
Who feels the need to breed

When they play, they fly away
Before they join the choir
But please don't try it, for an easy out
That gun will misfire

Chorus:
Remember me when I am gone
I am the fool who got the ending wrong
One thing I said, you can pin it on
That gun will misfire

You must have somethin' better to do
Than learn to shoot that gun
You coulda read some history
Seen how the West was really won
