[Intro] Em Em Em G B [Verse 1]
     Em
Now, Tommy's a good father
Of two sons and a daughter
       Em                        A
But he wakes up and he asks himself:

          G
"Why even bother?"

      Em
If he cannot feed his family
The wage he's paid's insanity
Em                            A           G
Every day he's dealing with a new calamity

         Em
Lost his old occupation
But it wasn't immigration
Em                     A               G
It was a machine, automation that replaced him

Em
Politicians left him, corruption since the recession

      Em                                        A                 G
So he grabs his Smith and Wesson and says he'll teach 'em all the lesson like:
B D [Chorus]
                 Em
"Get down on the ground!

                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!

                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!

                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!

       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!

                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!

                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!

                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!

       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!"
[Verse 2] Em Em
    Em
Now first he'd lost his pension
Sunk into depression
Em
Congress is defecting

          A             G
It's been adding to the tension

Em
Came back from war, and he's been post-traumatic stressing

Em                           A               G
Can't afford his medicine he took for his aggression

   Em
He needs help, relying on this system that rejects him

Em                          A                 G
Took away his benefits, but left him with his weapon

         Em
Bought a one way ticket
He's entering the thicket
   Em                              A                G
To do the only thing that he's thinking will make a difference like:
B D [Chorus]
                 Em
"Get down on the ground!

                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!

                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round

                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!

       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!

                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!

                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!

                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!

       B         D
Let it rain over Washington!"
[Bridge] Em Em Em A G Em Em Em A G Em Em Em A G C D
          Em        Em        Em        A G
There's a cold wind blowing

          Em        Em        Em        A G
I'm just warning and preparing ya

          Em        Em        Em        A G
There's a cold wind blowing

          C                   B         D
And it's coming for America

          Em
And it's coming for America
Em Em Em A G Em Em Em A G Em Em Em A G
         C                    D
And it's coming for America
[Chorus]
                 Em
"Get down on the ground!

                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!

                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!

                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!

       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!

                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!

                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!

                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!

       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!"
