The Bullet & Big D Bishop Allen EP. Collection Vol.1 This song is a few cents flat, so make sure you tune down if you're gonna play along. I apologize for the spacing of the chords. While they originally were perfectly spaced with the chord changes, Ultimate Guitar isn't too friendly with Macs. A E On Monday Dealey Plaza fills A E C#m with people on the way A E to the court houses and meeting rooms C#m E D but me, I'm free today D E And I traced the path the motorcade A D took back in sixty-three: D E A D past the grassy knoll into the book depository. A D A D They put in a museum where they say the shots were fired. A D It's closed today but I don't mind; E I'm already getting tired.

A E C#m E D Missiles screamed across Miami, trail and fall out. D E A D Teachers drilled their students hiding underneath their desks D E A D to fear the twitchy trigger finger of old Krushchev.

A E C#m E D The two of you were fighting, and we promised we'd get out D E A D Out far from the narrowness and the confines and the doubt. D E A D We'd leave behind all that we know and never turn around. A D A D Cut the strings and tear away from all that kept us down D E A and oh my god big D Interlude: A, A, A, E, D, x4 A, E, A, E, C#m, A, E, C#m, E, D, D, E, A, D, D, E, A, D, A, D, A, D, A, D,E, A E A E C#m Now I fly out of Laguardia, or out of JFK A E C#m E D and I land at DFW and I drive down LBJ D E A D and the houses and the shopping centers, don't make me afraid.
