[Verse 1]
Em Em7 Dsus2 Cmaj7 Cadd9
He knows well his... wicked ways, a... course of bitter - ness,
Em Em7 Dsus2 Cmaj7 Cadd9
A grudge held from his... childhood days, as if...life had loved him less,
Am Am6 Am7 D
Reading down his... list of names, he... ticks them, one by one,
Fm Gm Ab Bb
He points the barrel at the sky, firing shots off... at the sun,

[Verse 2]
Em Em7 Dus2 Cmaj7 Cadd9
He carves out the... victims names, in the wooden butt of the... gun,
Em Em7 Dsus2 Cmaj7 Cadd9
He leans well back a - gainst the tree, he knows his kingdoms come,
Am Am6 Am7 D
He'll... breath a sigh, self - satisfied, the... work is in good hands,

He shoots the coins in - to the air, and...follows where the...money lands,

[Verse 3]
Em Em7 Dsus2 Cmaj7 Cadd9
He pauses at the... city's edge, of hellfire and of stone,
Em Em7 Dsus2 Cmaj7 Cadd9
He summons up the... devil there, to give him... courage of his own,
Am Am6 Am7 D
He'll... free the sinners... of deceit, they'll... hear his name and run,
Fm Gm Ab Bb
His justice is his own reward, measured out be - neath the sun!
