Guitar or a Gun Will Hoge
Tuning: Standard
Intro: Em G Dsus2 Cadd9 (2X)
A c[Em]ool September morn[G]ing, waitin' on the [Dsus2]pawn shop to let me in
Two Hundred Dol[Em]lars worth of summer yard mo[G]win', tha[Dsus2]t I just had to spend
I h[Em]ad my eye on t[G]wo things, but I could[Dsus2] only pick just one
A young m[Am]an's first decision; is it a gu[D]itar or a gun?[Em] [G] [Dsus2] [Cadd9] [Em] [G] [Dsus2] [Cadd9]
I can s[Em]till hear daddy's voice sa[G]y "now [Dsus2]think about it son'
'One of t[Em]hese will last forever,[G] and the o[Dsus2]ther's just for fun
[Em]One can feed your fam[G]ily, and one will[Dsus2] end you up in jail"
And he se[Am]emed to know which one was which, but [D]me, I couldn't tel[Em]l
Chorus:
I could le[C]arn to shoot like Je[G]sse James,[Dsus2] out there on the run[Em],
Play gui[C]tar and be a Rol[G]ling Stone, well [Dsus2]that just sounds like fun
A ro[C]ck star or an ou[G]tlaw, well, e[Dsus2]ither way I've w[Em]on,
When [C]I walk out this do[G]or with a gu[D]itar or a gun[Em]
I've tho[Em]ught about it lo[G]ng and hard, as [Dsus2]I held 'em in my hand
[Em]Standin' at the cros[G]sroads, still d[Dsus2]ecidin' who I am
They're b[Em]oth just wood and me[G]tal. Six b[Dsus2]ullets or six strings
[Am]Whichever choice I make I'll leave here feel[D]ing like a king[Em]
Chorus:
I could le[C]arn to shoot like Je[G]sse James,[Dsus2] out there on the run[Em],
Play gui[C]tar and be a Rol[G]ling Stone, well [Dsus2]that just sounds like fun
A ro[C]ck star or an ou[G]tlaw, well, e[Dsus2]ither way I've w[Em]on
When [C]I walk out this do[G]or with a gu[D]itar or a gu[Em]n

[Em] [G] [Dsus2] [Cadd9] [Em] [G] [Dsus2] [Cadd9]
A c[Em]ool September mor[G]ning, waitin' on the [Dsus2]pawn shop to let me in
Two Hundred Do[Em]llars worth of summer yard mo[G]win', tha[Dsus2]t I just had to spend
Chorus:
Should I le[C]arn to shoot like Je[G]sse James,[Dsus2] out there on the run[Em],
Play gui[C]tar and be a Rol[G]ling Stone, well [Dsus2]that just sounds like fun
A ro[C]ck star or an ou[G]tlaw, wel[Dsus2]l, either way I've w[Em]on[D]
When I w[C]alk out this d[G]oor with a gu[D]itar or a g[Em]un

When I walk out this door with a guitar???.. or a gun
With a g[Cadd9]uitar or a [Em]gun[G] [Dsus2] [Cadd9] [Em]
