Intro Riff (play the same chords as the verses while the other guitar does the solo)


[Chorus]
Em                                  Bm
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. I, I, I sail away
Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. Slide on down
          C                 Riff              Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. What is lost you gave away
                     Bm         Em   Am   Bm
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
C               Em*        Em
Stray bullets rainin' on down


   Em                                   Bm
Me and Danny Lord and Steve were fuckin' drunk on New Year's Eve
            Em
Singin,' drinkin,' playin' guitars layin' 'round
                       C                           Riff                 Em
We pulled the shotgun out the shed and fired it towards the heavens
           Bm   Em
Stray bullets rainin' on down


[Chorus]
Em                                  Bm
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. I, I, I sail away
Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. Slide on down
          C                 Riff              Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. What is lost you gave away
                     Bm         Em   Am   Bm
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
C               Em*        Em
Stray bullets rainin' on down


Em                                      Bm
Back of Ace uncovered truck the captain laughed and said good luck
            Em
As we rolled on through our first Iraqi town
               C                           Riff                 Em
From the rooftop we blasted, Danny Lord’s spine came unfastened
                 Bm       Em
Stray bullets rainin' on down


[Chorus]
Em                                  Bm
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. I, I, I sail away
Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. Slide on down
          C                 Riff              Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. What is lost you gave away
                     Bm         Em   Am   Bm
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
C               Em*        Em
Stray bullets rainin' on down


[Intro Riff & Solo] (I will tab the solo out later)


Em                                      Bm
Fifteen month lost in Iraq, we got stop-lossed, they sent us back
            Em
Why the fuck we’re even here I’ll never know
           C                       Riff                 Em
Me and Steve we went out walkin’ a few of us have started talkin’
                  Bm                    Em
And now we’ve got a mission of our own! Yeah!


[Chorus]
Em                                  Bm
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. I, I, I sail away
Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. Slide on down
          C                 Riff              Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. What is lost you gave away
                     Bm         Em   Am   Bm
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
C               Em*        Em
Stray bullets rainin' on down


Em (heavy & staccato)           Bm
Cause now we’re comin’ for the captain, to reap the seeds he’s sewn
            Em
Everybody “HIT THE DECK!” cause his tents about to blow
               C                        Riff                    Em
Tell the general when we find him that he’ll be the next to go
                                 Bm                     Em
Yeah we’re comin’ for the captain and then we’re going home!


[Chorus]
Em                                  Bm
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. I, I, I sail away
Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. Slide on down
          C                 Riff              Em
Woah oh oh. Ayy ee yay. What is lost you gave away
                     Bm         Em   Am   Bm
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
C               Em*        Em
Stray bullets rainin' on down
