Giving Up The Gun(Chords)

	        (intro) A   F#m   E   D 

(Chorus ) 
A		      F#m 
   Your sword?s grown old and rusty 
E		  D 
Burnt beneath the rising sun 
A		  F#m 
   It?s locked up like a trophy 
   E		   D 
Forgetting all the things it?s done 

And though it?s been a long time 
You?re right back where you started from 
I see it in your eyes 
That now you?re giving up the gun 

(verse ) 
A 
   When I was 17 
F#m 
   I had wrists like steel 
E                D 
   And I felt complete 

And now my body fades 
Behind a brass charade 
And I?m obsolete 

But if the chance remained 
To see those better days 
I?d cut the cannons down 

My ears are blown to bits 
From all the rifle hits 
But I still crave that sound 

(Chorus ) 
A		      F#m 
   Your sword?s grown old and rusty 
E		  D 
Burnt beneath the rising sun 
A		  F#m 
   It?s locked up like a trophy 
   E		   D 
Forgetting all the things it?s done 

And though it?s been a long time 
You?re right back where you started from 
I see it in your eyes 
That now you?re giving up the gun 

(verse ) 
A 
   I heard you play guitar 
F#m 
   Down at a seedy bar 
E			   D 
   Where skinheads used to fight 

Your Tokugawa smile 
And your garbage style 
Used to save the night 

You felt the coming wave 
Told me we?d all be brave 
You said you wouldn?t flinch 

But in the years that passed 
Since I saw you last 
You haven?t moved an inch 

(Chorus ) 
A		      F#m 
   Your sword?s grown old and rusty 
E		  D 
Burnt beneath the rising sun 
A		  F#m 
   It?s locked up like a trophy 
   E		   D 
Forgetting all the things it?s done 

And though it?s been a long time 
You?re right back where you started from 
I see it in your eyes 
That now you?re giving up the gun 

(bridge 7x) 
A	     F#m 
   I see you shine in your way 
   E		 D 
Go on, go on, go on 

(Chorus ) 
A		      F#m 
   Your sword?s grown old and rusty 
E		  D 
Burnt beneath the rising sun 
A		  F#m 
   It?s locked up like a trophy 
   E		   D 
Forgetting all the things it?s done 

And though it?s been a long time 
You?re right back where you started from 
I see it in your eyes 
That now you?re giving up the gun
