A couple weeks ago I posted the chords for the acoustic version
of the song Gun Shy. I screwed it up pretty good, though (actually
I confused some related chords) so here's a corrected version.

Intro Chords (same as first verse)
G G G G
Am G D D
G
I always knew that you would
Take yourself far from home
Am G
As soon as, as far as
D
You could go
G
By the quarter inch cut of your hair
And the army issued green
Am G
For the past six weeks I can tell
D
Where you've been
Chorus #1
G D
For I knew, I could see
Am G
It was all cut and dried to me
Am
There was soldier's blue blood
G D
Streaming inside your veins
G D
There's a world outside of this room
Am G
And when you meet it promise me
Am G
That you won't meet it
D
With your gun
G
For now, you are one
One of the brave few
Am G
It's so awful sad that we need
D
Boys like you
G
I hope the day never comes
For here's your live round, son
Am G
Stock and barrel, safety trigger
D
Here's your gun
Chorus #2
G D
For I knew, I could see
Am G
It was all cut and dried to me
Am
There was soldier's blue blood
G D
Streaming inside your veins
G D
There's a world outside of this room
Am G
And when you meet it promise me
Am G
That you won't meet it
D
With your gun, taking aim
G Am
For I don't mean, to argue
G Am
That they've made a decent boy of you
G D
I don't mean to spoil your homecoming, but
Am G
Baby brother, you would expect me to
Instrumental for 4 bars, continue playing G
Am G
Stock and barrel, safety trigger
D
Here's your gun
G
So now does your heart pitter-pat
With that patriotic sound
Am
When you see the stripes of
G D
Old Glory waving
Chorus #3
G D
For I knew, I could see
Am G
It was all cut and dried to me
Am
There was soldier's blue blood
G D
Streaming inside your veins
G D
There's a world outside of this room
Am G
And when you meet it promise me
Am G
That you won't meet it
D
With your gun, taking aim
G Am
For I don't mean, to argue
G Am
That they've made a decent boy of you
G D
I don't mean to spoil your homecoming
Am D
My baby brother Jude
G Am
And I don't mean to hurt you
G Am
By saying these things again
G D
They're so good at making soldiers
Am
But they're not as good at making
G
Men
