Bm                         A
 Weapons and guns are they really our rights

Bm                         A
 Laws written a long time ago

Bm             A
 No one could imagine the sight

   Bm                  A
Of so many dead on the floor
[Chorus 1]
Bm          A
 Hey God if you’re still there

          Bm               A
Would you please come down

Bm          A
 Hey God if you’re still there

          Bm               F#m
Would you please come down
Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm [Verse 2]
Bm                             A
 So what do you really have in mind for us now

   Bm                          A
We know that you’re not on our side

      Bm                A
A few words of wisdom — written down

Bm                             A
 Ain’t enough to sustain us anymore
[Chorus 2]
Bm           A
 Hey God if you’re still there

          Bm               A
Would you please come down

Bm          A
 Hey God if you’re still there

          Bm
Would you please come down

F#m                  G    A
 We can’t take it no more
[Bridge] F# Bm G Em A F#m F# F#7 F#7 Bm A Bm A Bm A G F# Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm [Verse 3]
Bm                  A
 Some cannot live inside the law

Bm                            A
 Not much has changed here at all

Bm                      A
 I see the sun’s really going down

         Bm                         A
 This is not the Garden of Eden for sure
[Chorus 3]
Bm          A
 Hey God if you’re still there

          Bm               A
Would you please come down

Bm          A
 Hey God if you’re still there

          Bm
Would you please come down

          A               Bm
We can’t take it here anymore

A                    Bm
 We can’t take it no more
[Outro] Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm
Bm
