    A Thing (x4)
            A               C                          D                                A
              Life is so strange when its changin', yes indeed
            A                               C                             G                              A
              Well, I've seen the hard times and the pressure's been on me
              But I keep on workin' like the workin' man do
              And I've got my act together, gonna walk all over you

                                A Thing                        add(G) add(G)
                                Gimme back my bullets
                       (G) D                   C                            A  add(G) add(G)
                                Put 'em back where they belong
                       (G) D                            C              G                    A   add(G)
                                Ain't foolin' around cause I done had my fun
                       (G) D                   C         G                     A
                                Ain't gonna see no more damage done
                                A Thing                           A Thing
                                Gimme back my bullets

              Sweet talkin' people done ran me out of town
              And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
              But I'm leavin' this game one step ahead of you
              And you will not hear me cry cause I do not sing the blues

                                Gimme back my bullets
                                Put 'em back where they belong
                                Ain't foolin' around cause I done had my fun
                                Ain't gonna see no more damage done

                                Oh, put 'em back  -   where they belong
                                                 *Solo*    D C A (x3)

              Been up and down since I turned seventeen
              Well I've been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
              But I got it back, I'm feelin' better everyday
              Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way

                                Gimme back my bullets
                                Put 'em back where they belong
                                Ain't foolin' around, cause I done had my fun
                                Ain't gonna see no more damage done

                                Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
                                A Thing                                                A Thing
                                Oh put 'em back where they belong
                                                                          A Thing     A Thing
                                Gimme back my bullets...
