Chords for Tyler Childers - Long Violent History (Lyrics)

_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It's the worst that it's been since [C] the last time [G] it happened.
It's happening again right in front of [D] our _ eyes.
There's [G] updated footage, [C] wild _ [G] speculation, tall tales and [D] hearsay and absolute _ _ lies.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ Being [C] passed off as factual, when actually the actual cause is there awkwardly,
blocking [D] the way, _ _ [G]
keeping us all from enjoying our evening,
shoving its roots [D] through the screens in [G] our _ face. _ _ _
_ _ _ Now what would you get if [C] you heard [G] my opinion, _
injecting on matters that ain't [D] never dreamed?
_ _ [G] And all my boring days [C] as a white [G] boy from Hickman,
based on the way [D] that the world's been [G] to me.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[C] It's called me belligerent, [G] it's took me for ignorant,
but it ain't never once made me scared [D] just to be. _ _ _
[G] Could you imagine [C] just constantly [G] worrying,
kicking and fighting, _
[D] begging [G] to _ breathe? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ How many boys could they haul off this mountain, _
shoot full of holes, cuffed and laying [D] in the streets?
_ [G] Till we come into town in a stark raving anger,
looking for answers and armed to the _ teeth. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] Thirty-aught sixes, [G] a papazole pistol,
how many you reckon, would it be four [D] or _ five?
[G] Or would that be the start of [C] a long [G] violent history,
of ducking our tails as we tried to abide? _
_ Or would that be the start of a long violent history,
of ducking our tails as we [D] tried to [G] abide? _ _
