Tom Paxton – What If No Matter (Guitar)

F                     C
What if no matter how angry he was,

    G7                   C
How outraged he was, how furious he was,

F                     C
What if no matter how angry he was,

   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

F                     C
What if no matter how right he was,

    G7                   C
How wrong they were, how evil they were,

F                     C
What if no matter how right he was,

   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

   G7                    C
No rifle, no shotgun, no pistol in sight,

     G7                        C
No revolvers, automatics, no assault guns tonight,

   F                             C
No clips crammed with bullets anywhere to be found,

   D                    G
No weapons just laying around.

F                     C
What if no matter how outraged he was,

    G7                  C
How furious he was, how murderous he was,

F                     C
What if no matter how outraged he was,

   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

      G7                          C
If he dug through his Chevy, the back seat, the trunk,

    G7                   C
The attic, the basement, piles of old junk,

     F                C
Came up empty-handed again and again,

D                         G
Tell me, what would he do then?

F                     C
What if no matter how angry he was,

    G7                   C
How outraged he was, how furious he was,

F                     C
What if no matter how angry he was,

   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

   G7                      C
He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
