I was looking at the first two versions of the tabs for this song and found that the
bar chords throughout the song sound better and won't give you carpel tunnel if a capo is
and they are played as open chords. Also I added another chord that transitions well
the last note of the pattern to the first which i can here in the actual song. This is
first tab, but a simple song, so here it goes.
Note: - the chords are placed directly above the syllable that should be sung.
Chords Used: Em - D - Am - G - (D/F#)

Verse 1:
Mr.Dali Lamas
Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrow
Amputees in Freetown
Sierra Leone's
The church wasn't honest
The state put the youth in a harness
Creatin' hostility among us
Teacher said no college
Still the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commas
People wanna bomb us
More people gotta scatter and run from us
-
You can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis
Chorus - Play 2x's
But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away
Verse 2:
I've been knowing her for years
I've been seeing her for years
She got dark, dark wavy hair
With a voice like she just don't care
She got a skirt with a halter top
She's got a dad who never gave a f***
She drinks a beer with her mom 'til dawn
She got knocked up in a pickup truck
But she got engaged when she was nineteen
To this dude who was acting insane
Had a .45 that he always cleaned
Said one day one day one too many days
Now she ducked and she ran away
Never to be heard from, never to be seen
I check the cover of a magazine
-
I'm just wondering how, just wondering
Chorus - Play 2x's
But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away
