Why so close

Dm          C
Big boys in black hats

Dm           C
Cowboys with white guns

Dm               C
White guns shoot blue white

Dm            C    Dm
Blue white baptism

   C    Dm
No buffaloes

   C   Dm
No Indians

C            Dm
No more buffaloes

Dm         C
Red sky is falling

Dm             C
Blue blood no stalling

Dm               C
White heat will strip you

Dm         C
No time to run far

Dm                     C
Ivan's built a wall of lead 'round his house

Dm             C
Nobody can get in or out

Dm                      C
Running out of food for ammunition

Dm                          C
Frightened of the darkness, sending out scouts

Dm           C
Why hang the fire so close

Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle

Dm                    C
Wore headphones since he was born

Dm            C
 Watches Ivan through dark glasses

Dm                      C
Hand on his gun waiting for the storm

Dm                  C
 One false move and we all fall down

Dm                C
No funeral games, no such fun

Dm                 C
Here's your ticket to the party

Dm                      C                 Dm    C
That's what you get for playing with a gun

Six-gun so close

Dm
Ivan's got a wall of lead 'round his house

Why stand the fire so close

Why stand the fire so close
