The Sound of a Gun Chris de Burgh
Capo 3
Intro:
[Bm] [G] [Em] [Bm]
[Bm]I have seen the diamond stylus,
C[G]ut a groove from north to south,
H[Bm]eard them calling from the islands for a b[G]etter day,
[Bm]One by one they tell their story,
[G]One by one it's just the same,
"They've t[F#m]aken our leaders,
And all their believers are p[G]aralysed,
And now we c[Bm]an't t[A]urn b[Bm]ack, somebody is watching you!
D[Bm]on't t[A]urn r[Bm]ound, yesterday's gone!
And [Em]even the children are w[Bm]aking at midnight in t[C]ears,
Didn't anyone hear? Mother, mother, mother..."
H[G]ush child g[A]o to sleep, it's [C]only the s[D]ound of a g[Em]un,
H[G]ush child g[A]o to sleep, it's [C]only the s[D]ound of a g[Em]un,
Ooo[Bm]oh, aa[Em]ah, ooo[Bm]oh, [G] a[A]aa[Bm]h,
L[Bm]ooking out my bedroom window,
[G]I remember early days,
Wh[Bm]en the shot that wounded millions took our br[G]eath away,
But n[Bm]ow the shadow of a gunman,
W[G]ith his balaclava eyes, is m[F#m]aking the news,
Calling out the warnings on the t[G]elephone,
"You're in the l[Bm]ine [A]of f[Bm]ire, wish there was another way!
L[Bm]ine [A]of f[Bm]ire, anything goes,"
And wh[Em]o is the winner, and wh[Bm]at will the minister s[C]ay,
At the end of the day? Never, never, never, never!
H[G]ush child g[A]o to sleep, it's [C]only the s[D]ound of a g[Em]un,
H[G]ush child g[A]o to sleep, it's [C]only the s[D]ound of a g[Em]un,
[Bm] [G] [Em] [Bm]
This [Bm]is bella soma, this [G]is bella soma,
This [Em]is bella soma, this [Bm]is bella soma,
This [Em]is bella soma, this [C]is bella soma,
Mother, mother, mother...
H[G]ush child g[A]o to sleep, it's [C]only the s[D]ound of a g[Em]un,
H[G]ush child g[A]o to sleep, it's [C]only the s[D]ound of a g[Em]un,
H[G]ush child g[A]o to sleep, it's [C]only the s[D]ound of a g[Em]un,
H[G]ush child d[A]o not weep, it's [C]only the s[D]ound of a w[B]orld on the r[Em]un,
You're h[C]earing the s[D]ound of a g[Em]un. [Bm] [Em] [Bm] [Em] [C] [A] [D] [A]
