The Smoking Gun

Dm

[Verse 1]
D                G
The road into town
C         G          D
Timed it to perfection
D                       G
Clear in his unhinged mind
C                G              D
The day had come for insurrection

[Verse 2]
D                G
Streets like open veins
C         G          D
Bleeding anger and frustration
D                       G
So he preached with fury in his eyes
C       G              D
Before the congregation

[Bridge]
Bb                 C
We all stood laughing
Am                  Bb
Smogging our disbelief
Gm                     C     F    C
Hypnotised by a lie and common thief

[Chorus]
Dm                Dm7    D7
And we all let the devil in
G                                     Gm
'Cause no-one believed that he could win
Bb                           E7
But now we've all left fingerprints on
A            D
The smoking gun

[Verse 3]
D                G
Build your borders high
C         G              D
On mistrust, fear and suspicion
D                   G
Dance, smile and wait
C                G                   D
While you're dragging us all to perdition

[Bridge 2]
Bb                 C
While we are all wondering
Am                  Bb
How this came to be
Gm                     C     F    C
We should be asking How we didn't see


[Chorus 2]
Dm                Dm7    D7
And we all think we are not to blame
G                                     Gm
But we are all guilty just the same
Bb                           E7
'Cause the many became the one
A                Dm
With the smoking gun
Bm        Bb              Dm
'Cause we all let the many run
