Verse 1:
G5                                   C5      G5
Well hes been collecting since the age of nine
E5                      C5         G5
Every shiny bullet that he could find
G5                               C5       G5
Built himself a house with the wooden floors
E5                           C5         G5
Put the shiny bullets in a chest of drawers


Verse 2:
G5                                 C5          G5
Well his wifes long gone and the kids have grown
E5                       C5        G5
And trees they fall down on their own
G5                      C5      G5
Memories fade like an old slideshow
E5                                 C5           G5
But the bullets still shine like coins in the snow


Verse 3:
C5             G5            D5    E5  
Well one day took himself into town
C5               G5           D5         E5
The men with a truck well they came around
C5            G5               D5           E5
Took the television and the gun from the war
C5                  G5               D5        E5
And almost every bullet from the chest of drawers


Verse 4:
G5                                      C5         G5
Well he came back home and found the house in a mess
E5                            C5          G5
Run into the bedroom and the old brown chest
G5                       C5 G5
Didnt care much for the VCR
E5                                      C5      G5
But he cried for the space where the bullets were


Verse 5:
C5                  G5          D5    E5
The men drove the truck down into town
C5                  G5     D5         E5       
And sold all the silver they had found
C5                            G5               D5           E5
But they couldnt sell the bullets cos they werent live rounds
C5                   G5             D5             E5
So they dug a big hole put the bullets in the ground

Now he doesnt leave the house much anymore
C5                      G5              D5    E5
Cos the men are gonna come like they did before
C5              G5         D5       E5
And hell hold onto the three or four
C5                  G5            D5         E5
Bullets that they left in the chest of drawers
C5                               G5           D5         E5
Oh yeah the bullets that they left in the chest of drawers
