Em  G   D

           D                     A/D
You have a natural tendency, to squeeze off a shot
        G/D                     D
You're good fun at parties, you wear the right masks
       Dsus4                      D
You're old, but you still like a laugh in the locker room
      D9                                       D
You can't abide change, you're at home on the range
    D                         A/D
You opened the suitcase, behind the old workings
    G/D                      D
To show off the magnum , you deafened the canyon
  Dsus4             D                      D9
A comfort a friend, only upstaged in the end

By the Uzi machine gun
         D
Does the recoil remind you...
              Em
Remind you of sex
                 G                    D
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
Em        G                   D    
Old timer who you gonna kill next

Verse 2

(repeat chord pattern)

I looked over Jordan and what did I see

Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris

I swam in your pools and lay under your palm trees

I looked in the eyes of the Indian

Who lay on the Federal Building steps

And through the range finder over the hill

I saw the frontline boys popping their pills

Sick of the mess they find

On their desert stage

And the bravery of being out of range

Yeah the question is vexed

Old man what the hell you gonna kill next

Old timer who you gonna kill next

Verse 3

Hey bartender, over here

Two more shots and two more beers

Sir, turn up the TV sound

The war has started on the ground 

Just love those laser guided bombs

They're really great for righting wrongs

You hit the target and win the game from bars

3,000 miles away

3,000 miles away


   Em                        G                        D               
We play the game    with the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim     with the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train with the bravery of being out of range
We gain terrain     with the bravery of being out of range
We play the game    with the bravery of being out of range
