My neighbors car got stole last night right out of his driveway
                      Em               G             D

Ive been walking around this farm wondering if its time

Chorus
             D                          Em
Time to get a gun thats what I been thinkin
          G                        A
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin
              D                           Em
Time to put something between me and the sun
                     G A                     D
When the talking is over its time to get a gun
