Long Violent History Acordes

[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
         G                              C             G
It's the worst that it's been since the last time it happened
     G                                      D
It's happening again right in front of our eyes
        G                C          G
There's updated footage, wild speculation
G                          D         G     G7
Tall tales and hearsay and absolute lies
 
C                               G
Been passed off as factual when actually, the actual
G                                   D
Causes they're awkwardly blockin' the way
G                      C          G
Keeping us all from enjoyin' our evening
G                              D              G
Shoving its roots through the screens in our face
 
[Verse 2]
     G                         C         G
Now, what would you get if you heard my opinion
G                                           D
Conjecturin' on matters that I ain't never dreamed
G                         C             G
In all my born days as a white boy from Hickman
G                         D                G      G7
Based on the way that the world's been to mе?
 
C                                 G
It's called me belligеrent, it's took me for ignorant
G                                               D
But it ain't never once made me scared just to be
G                      C          G
Could you imagine just constantly worryin'
G                      D          G
Kickin' and fightin', beggin' to breathe?
 
[Verse 3]
G                        C             G
How many boys could they haul off this mountain
G                                            D
Shoot full of holes, cuffed and laid in the streets
       G                    C            G
Til we come in to town in a stark ravin' anger
G                       D             G      G7
Looking for answers and armed to the teeth?
 
C                    G
Thirty aught sixes, Papaw's old pistol
G                                        D
How many, you reckon, would it be, four or five?
         G                      C             G
Or would that be the start of a long, violent history
G                       D       G
Tuckin' our tails as we try to abide?
 
[Outro]
      G                       C            G
Would that be the start of a long, violent history
G                        D      G
Tuckin' our tails as we try to abide?
