I want the people to know
that he saved my soul
but I still like to listen
to the radio

LIFE WAS FILLED WITH GUNS
life was filled with guns and war
and everyone got trampled on the floor
i wish we'd all been ready
children died the days grew cold
a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
i wish we'd all been ready
there's no time to change your mind
the son has come and you've been left behind
a man and wife asleep in bed
she hears a noise and turns her head
he's gone
i wish we'd all been ready
two men walking up a hill
one disappears and one's left standing still
i wish we'd all been ready
there's no time to change your mind
the son has come and you've been left behind
life was filled with guns and war
and everyone got trampled on the floor
i wish we'd all been ready
children died the days grew cold
a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
i wish we'd all been ready
there's no time to change your mind
how could you have been so blind
the father spoke the demons dined
the son has come and you've been left behind
you've been left behind
you've been left behind

Solo tabbed by Justin Lee ([email protected])
Additional chord voicings and corrections Dave Dolphin (c/o [email protected])
Please feel free to comment or correct. The solo isn't *exactly* what is played
on the CD, but it's pretty close. The main difference is the little arpeggio action
from time to time. Which I think I can play, but I'm doing this without the
benefit of the CD. Have fun!
