[G]
Break a man, break a promise, break a heart, break a hope.
[Gm] Take a [C] long look at a heaven [G] [D] gone to hell.
Under [G] the gun, see the child, young and hungry, growing wild.
He was born on the run and [C] he'll die reaching [G] for freedom.
He [D] was born under [G] the gun from the wall.
See the soldier, here they come, here they come.
Like a [C]
storm over the [G]
border, till they [D] bow under [G] the gun.
Sworn men, sworn men, blind with power, break the rules.
One by one with [C] their lives, raising the [G] danger of [D] their game.
[G] Under the gun, no more time, no more chances, no more wars.
We'll be one in [C] the end, only [G] the losers hold [D] the land.
Under [G] the gun, hold the truth like a candle.
Let it shine like the sun.
On [C] the love, we slept [G] to believe in.
In [D] the world, [G] under the gun.
Break a man, break a promise, break a heart, break a hope.
Take [C] a long [G] look at a heaven gone to [D] hell.
Under [G] the gun, see the child, young and hungry, growing wild.
[C] God bless you for helping the farmers, keep them safe.

[D] Thank you, thank you, thank you.
That was [G] incredible, right?
