Verse 1
G
Come gather round me people,
C
G
a story I'll convey
Of
C
G
D
Willie and his pistol and how
From a good man with a steady
C
job and mu sic on the side
G
C
G
To an eight -by -ten with no parole
D
G
and the wink of an eye
Well,
Willie, he drove a city bus
C
in a seedy part of town
G
C
G
He feared for his passengers and he
D
G
thought he'd let them down
When some young punk,
C
G
he pulled a gun and he robbed the whole damn bus
C
G
Willie tasted helpless fear and
D
G
he swore he'd had enough
C
G
Willie, poor boy, layin' in jail
D
G
Willie, poor boy, sorrowful tale
C
G
C
G

So
Willie bought a handgun
C
and he practiced taking aim
G
C
G
With a strong arm and a steady hand,
D
G
he soon mastered the game
A tall man, standing taller still,
C
he finally gained control
G
C
G
He packed his pistol to his ribs as
D
G
through the streets he drove
C
G
Willie, poor boy, layin' in jail
Willie, poor boy,
D
G
C
G
sorrowful tale
C
G
D
G
C
G
C
G
D
G
One day he walked along the
C
street on a sunny afternoon
G
C
G
His heart was light and happy
D
G
and he whistled at a tune
When he stepped into the crosswalk
C
G
and he heard a screech of tires
C
G
And as he leapt to safety he
D
G
felt a sudden surge of ice
You, sir, are endangering pedestrians,
C
G
he yelled at the man behind the wheel, who lowered
C
G
D
G
his power window, and in a voice hard as steel,
he said, you're the one to blame, you dirty
C
G
C
G
lowlife scum, and he spat, and like the whiplash,
D
G
well he spat back with his gun.
C
G
Wait, poor boy, layin' in jail
D
G
C
Wait, poor boy, sorrowful tale
G
C
G
D
G
C
G
C
G
D
G
Now a gun's not meant to dig a ditch,
C
G
a spade's not meant to shoot
C
G
Each tool has its purpose and
D
G
what's made will be used
Now
Willie, well he was lucky,
C
G
he shot but he did not kill
C
G
But that bullet dug a hole the best
D
G
of lawyers could not fill
And no amount of sad remorse
C
can wipe away the crime
G
C
G
A gun will serve its master,
D
G
and now master's servin' time.
