This is Barrel of a gun from the levellers album ‘A weapon called the word.’
I cant remember all of the words .. but it’s only 3 chords really anyway..
It starts off with left hand muting ..
Put your index finger over the third fret …This is the part counted
like 1 ..2 ..3 .4 .. It then starts with an Aminor..
At the start of every bar do a ‘pull off’ with your first finger ..
then ‘hammer on’ again in the same place ..
Then the left hand muting starts again … its not very easy
to describe it .. but its easy enough if you listen to the song.
1 ..2 ..3 ..4
The lyrics are ….
Am………
C G Am
In a strange land far —- from these shores,
C G Am
lay two men and a woman … killed —- by the law—-
C G
No matter what country—- .. No matter how far—
C G Am Am
You can’t get any justice, no , from the barrel of a gun.
Sorry i can’t remember all of the lyrics..
I hope you can work it out easily .. if not e-mail me
or if i am logged on … try a talk request!!.
