[Verse 1]
Am              G                 F         G         Am    Am/E Am/G
     I could be wrong, but I have seen your face be - fore,
Am      Am/E     G        G/B    C       C/B      Dm   Dm/A
    You were the man that I  saw running from his door,
Dm     Dm/A     Dm     Dm/A    C/E      C/D    C     Bb  Bb/F Bb/A  Bb
   You owed him money, but you gave him some - thing more...

[Chorus]
          Gm    Am         Gm     Am
...With a gun,      with a gun,
         Bb          C            Bb
You will be what you are just the same,
        F             G            A             G
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand,
    F         Em           Dm     G
And leave him lying in the rain?

[Verse 2]
Am               G               F      G      Am    Am/E Am/G
    You were the founders of the clinic in the hill,
Am       Am/E   G          G/B       C       C/B    Dm   Dm/A
    Un - til he caught you with your fingers in the till,
Dm    Dm/A         Dm    Dm/A    C/E     C/D C    Bb   Bb/F  Bb/A  Bb
   He slapped your hand, so  you settled up  your bill...

[Chorus]
          Gm    Am         Gm     Am
...With a gun,      with a gun,
         Bb          C            Bb
You will be what you are just the same,
        F             G            A             G
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand,
    F         Em           Dm     G
And leave him lying in the rain?

[Bridge]
            Em      Em/B     Em
When you're born to play the fool,
Em/B       Em   Em/B    Bb
And you've seen all the western movies,
A          G                F#m
Woe to the one who does him wrong,
       D    A      C      G
You'll hide in the bush - es,
E          D        E        D       C/Bb   Bb     C/Bb   Bb
Murder the man with Luger in hand! |  /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |

[Verse 3]
Am            G                   F       G       Am    Am/E Am/G
    I under - stand that you will soon be leaving town,
Am        Am/E   G/B     G         C       C/B     Dm   Dm/A
    Don't try to call me when they finally run you down,
Dm       Dm/A      Dm      Dm/A     C/E  C/D  C   Bb   Bb/F  Bb/A  Bb
    Just give fair warning any time you  come a - round...

[Chorus & Coda]
          Gm    Am         Gm     Am
...With a gun,      with a gun,
         Bb          C            Bb
You will be what you are just the same,
        F             G            A             G          F
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand, and leave him...
    Em          Dm   Dm/A     Dm   Dm/A     Dm   Dm/A    Dm   Dm/A
...lying in the rain-----? |  /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |
