Rifle, this is my gun, this is for fighting, this is for fun.
[C] [A] Well I ran into a soldier I met the [G] other day.
He came back home [Am] but he wasn't here to stay.
He [A] was talking about the army from a point of view.
He said, come join the army, we [C] need people [A] like you.
Now I like competition but I ain't [Am] gonna fight.
I [D] can only do wrong when the reason [A] is right.
You won't see me out there in a bar of [Em] lead.
Just to die or to live with blood on [F#m] my hands.
Now don't get me [D] wrong and try to [A] understand.
I ain't [E] got a problem with killing [F#m] a man.
But I don't want [D] the filthy blood on my [A] hands.
[E] For a reason [A] no one understands.
[D] Now [A] [Am] [Em] [A] [D]
[A] he is drinking less than beer and he's talking [D] about
the glory of the army that I [A] seriously doubt.
He lost [Am] his friends [E] in a bloody war.
I'm going back [Am] there to settle the score.
I see a lot of anger [Em] when I look into [D] his eyes.
The only thing he wants is to kill a bunch [A] of guys.
Now get your really mind [E] something better to do.
Just look at what the army has done [F#m] to you.
Now don't get me wrong and try [D] to [A] understand.
I ain't [E] got a problem with killing [F#m] a man.
But I don't want [D] the filthy blood on [A] my hands.

He [C] said this is [E] my rifle, this is my gun.
[B] This is for shooting [Am] and this is for fun.
So I told him honestly I wish we never [D] met.
You can kiss my ass and you [A] won't get my respect.
And the money is the reason you [E] are going to war.
And I guess I'm gonna have to show you [A] the door.
Now don't get me wrong and try to understand.
I ain't [E] got a problem with killing a [F#m] man.
But I don't want [D] the filthy blood on my [A] hands.
