[Verse 1]
          D
There's a system in the backwoods
              C
There's a way of doin' things
             G                           D
If you break in we don't leave all of the fun to the police
C      D                              C
I just heard a bunch of racket comin' from the back screen door
            G                          D
Soon as you step in I'm gonna drop you on the kitchen floor
                C                 G      F
'Cause we ain't playin', we ain't playin'

[Chorus]
D             C                  G                 D
 My sawed off 12 gauge spreads a country mile, you know it
D              C                   G              D
 Step one foot in this house, son, you've already blown it
D              C               G                D
 Takes twenty minutes for the police to find my house
D           C                G                           D  C
 I'll have gone in less than one, 'cause out here I am 911
     G D  C G
I am 911

[Verse 2]
      D
Texas has the Castle Doctrine
         C
Florida, Georgia, Idaho
     G                          D
Carolinas, Oklahoma they're all here to let you know
         C      D                            C
But then we got New York, New Jersey with a duty to retreat
               G                                    D
I guess they'd rather have you dead than to protect your family
           C
And that's why…

[Chorus]
D             C                  G                 D
 My sawed off 12 gauge spreads a country mile, you know it
D              C                   G              D
 Step one foot in this house, son, you've already blown it
D              C               G                D
 Takes twenty minutes for the police to find my house
D                  C        G                    F       C  G
 I'll have the job already done, 'cause out here I am 911

[Bridge]
D                                C G
 That Sheriff, he can't save you
D                          C G
 It'll already be too late
D                                  C G
 But that gun will sure protect you
          A                       F G
That will let you see another day

[Chorus]
D                                G                        F
 My sawed off 12 gauge spreads a country mile, you know it
D              C                   G              D
 Step one foot in this house, son, you've already blown it
D              C               G                D
 Takes twenty minutes for the police to find my house
D               C                G                           D  C
 But I'll have gone in less than one, 'cause out here I am 911
     G D  C G D
I am 911.
