[Verse]
         B
I keep a weather eye on the horizon, back to the wall
                                      Asus2        E
I like to know who's coming through the door thats all
B                 E         B       E
It's the old Army training, kickin' in
B            E               Asus2            B Asus2 B Asus2
I'm not complaining it's the world we live in
B
Ronny and Malarkey, they're a devious firm
                                  Asus2    E
They'll take you to the cleaners, let you burn
B                    E             B                 E
The help is breaking dishes in the kitchen, thanks a lot
B                  E               Asus2            B Asus2 B Asus2
We hired the worst dishwasher this place ever got
 
 
[Chorus]
E                                 Asus2           B Asus2 B Asus2
Hidden below the radar, they want to spoil our fun
F#             D E D E                   B Asus2 B Asus2
In the meantime,      I'm cleaning my gun
 
 
[Verse]
B
Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank
                          Asus2             E
We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank
       B                  E
Keep a weather eye on the horizon
       B                  E
Tap my stormglass now and then
           B              E               Asus2                 B    Asus2 B Asus2
I've got a case of Old Damnation for when you get here, my friend
 
 
[Chorus]
E                             Asus2          B Asus2 B Asus2
We can have ourselves a party before they come
F#             D E D E                   B Asus2 B Asus2
In the meantime,      I'm cleaning my gun

[Bridge]
E                                        B
We had women and a mirror ball, we had a dee jay
E                                B
used to eat pretty much all that came his way
E                                B
Ever since the goons came in and took apart the place
C#                                F#
I keep a tyre iron in the corner, just in case
 
 
[Verse]
B
I gave you a magic bullet on a little chain
                                           Asus2       E
to keep you safe from the chilly winds and out of the rain
B                      E       B             E
We're gonna might need bullets should we get stuck
B         E                   Asus2             B Asus2 B Asus2
Any which way, we're going to need a little luck
 
 
[Chorus]
E                                      Asus2               B Asus2 B Asus2
You can still get gas in Heaven, and a drink in Kingdom Come
F#             D E D E                   B Asus2 B Asus2
In the meantime,      I'm cleaning my gun
