VERSE 2:
A          /
She reached down and picked the gun up,
                        E7
that lay smokin in his hand.

She said, "Father please forgive me;
                           A
I can't make it without my man."

And she knew the gun was empty,

And she knew she couldn't win,

But her final prayer was answered

When the rifles fired again.
