               E5
There's a green plaid jacket on the back of the chair
                D5
It's like a moment frozen forever there
                 C5                                                           E5
Mom and dad had a lot of big plans for their little man
           D5
"...So proud."

E5
Mama's gone crazy 'cause her baby's shot down
                D5
By some teenage car chase war out of bounds
                  C5                                                             E5    D5
It was the wrong place wrong time wrong end of a gun.

E5
Shoot straight   - from the hip

Gone forever in a trigger slip
                        D5
You know, it could have been
                                        C5
It could have been your brother.

E5
Shoot straight - shoot to kill
 D5
Blame each other, blame yourselves
C5                                D5                   C5              E5
God is a bullet have mercy on us everyone

             E5
They're gonna call me sir they'll all stop picking on me
                 D5
Well I'm a high school grad I'm over 5 foot 3
               C5                                                       E5
I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D.
            D5
They'll see
      E5
He didn't have to use the gun they put in his hand
                       D5
But when the guy came at him , well he panicked and ran
                 C5                                                                       E5
And it's thirty long years before they give him another chance
              D5
And it's sad sad sad

E5
Shoot straight   - from the hip

Gone forever in a trigger slip
                        D5
You know, it could have been
                                        C5
It could have been your brother.
