[Dm] [G]
[C] [A]
[Dm] [G]
[C] [Bb]
[G] First [C] your mama and your [F] papa set you to the finest [C]
schools
[Bb] Never [C] let it be said [F] that their little darlin' [C] wasn't fooled
[Am] [Bb] So [G] [F] with a credit card [Dm] and your [G] good name
[C] You were drawn like a moth [F] to the flame
[Dm] To that crowd of the night where you more or less blew [G] your cool
Yeah, [C] you had twenty-twenty visions [F] but still you were walkin' [C] round blind
I am shooting you [Bb] up, oh yeah
[C] And whether right or wrong [F] I still tag along [C] behind
I am shooting [Am] you [Bb] up, oh [G] no
Now [F] if you think that's [G] reality
And [C] girl if that's where you [F] wanna be
[Dm] It's time to say you go your way and I'll [G] go mine
It's been a gasp but I'm gonna have to [F] pass
These are not [G] my people, [C] oh no
These are not [A] my people
Looks like [Dm] the end
[G] I got to get [C] in the wind, my [Bb] friend [G] Oh yeah
[C] [F]
[C] I am shooting you [Bb] up, oh [G] yeah
[F] [G]
[C] [F]
[Dm]
[G]
[F] These are not [G] my people
[C] These [A] are not my people
Looks [Dm] like the [G] end
I got to get [C] in the wind [Eb] Oh [G] no
[C] Now you find yourself naked [F] in the world with no place [C] to hide
I am shooting you [Bb] up, oh yeah
[C] In the field with quilts [F] of your God and he [C] has died
I am shooting you [Bb] up, oh [G] no
Now [F] you're a rebel that's got [G] no cause
[C] Yeah, a tiger that ain't got [F] no cause
Aw, [Dm] they promised you the world on a string
But you know [G] they lied
Aw, [C] you said you'd be back in [F] a big black
[C] I am shooting you up, [Bb] oh yeah
But [C] you know I'm trying to [F] believe that's not the kind [C] of thing
I am shooting [Am] you [Bb] up, [G] oh no
Cause [F] when you're falling down off in [G] your cloud
And [C] you're just a little piece in [F] the crowd
[Dm] They're gonna throw you away like last week's [G] magazine
It's been a gasp but I think I'm gonna [F] pass
These are not [G] my people, girl
[C] These are not [A] my people
Looks [Dm] like you're mine
[G] I got to get [C] in the wind, my friend
[A]
Looks [Dm] like you're mine
[G] I got to get [C] in the wind
[Bb]
Yeah [G] Ah
[F]
Oh
