The Nightwatchman - Maximum Firepower My first "tab" this one, but it's such a great song and nobody posted the chords for it here you go. The bridge after each chorus is a bit off, but feel free to give me a one at hhanasand@gmail.com and I'll do some changes. Enjoy. Am This one's for the shoeshine boy And the farmer in debt Am Each string is barbed wire Each chord is a threat G This blues guy I met That never had a hit Am Said you don't gotta be loud, son To be heavy as shit Am Well I'm the triggerman, baby And tonight I'll prove Am That this machine here Well it kills fascists too G And don't be surprised If the sermon on the mount Am Next time is delivered In a little coffee house Dm Cause somebody here's Gotta let them know Am I doubt it's me But here I go Dm I hit the button Tape started to roll Am The song's got fire G But it's got no soul C Am G There's a lonely stretch of blacktop G Am Between here and home C G Am Drop down into the valley G Am Piano playin' in the living room F Am And when you see the white barn G Am You'll know the journey's through C G Am My dog's barking in the backseat G Am Cause he knows it too Dm - C - G Am You'll need a fake passport And fix your disguise Am And don't fire, sugar Til you see the whites of their eyes G I turned the other cheek But now I'm through Am The skin you're in Makes choices for you Dm I was checking off names And I came late to dinner Am Seems the slices of pie Keep getting thinner and thinner G Brothers and sisters Rejoice and repent Am The landlord's dead You can keep the rent Dm You got twelve fine friends But one of 'em's rotten Am There's a hole out back Ain't got no bottom Dm Forty days in the wilderness Forty sleepless nights Am I'm confused, half blind G And sure I'm right C Am G There's a lonely stretch of blacktop G Am Between here and home C G Am Drop down into the valley G Am Piano playin' in the living room F Am And when you see the white barn G Am You'll know the journey's through C G Am My dog's barking in the backseat G Am Cause he knows it too Dm - C - G Dm Officer please I won't be long Am Called the radio station Requested this song Dm I had my doubts About what I knew Am So I turned it up G Then it sounded true Am Kiss the ring If the Queen will let you Am But come over the fence And the dogs will get you G On a rope hung the traitor On a hook hung the meat Am You and me are missing persons C G Til we're counted in the streets Am So seize the time And storm the tower G And come correct Maximum Firepower (continued) Am (??) With Maximum Firepower For the sins of the fathers The son he must pay Am The Nightwatchman giveth C G And he taketh away Dm Thought hard about this next line Pretty sure it's true Am If you take a step towards freedom It'll take two steps towards you Dm So mister I ain't scared And mister I ain't worried Am G Cause on that lonely stretch of blacktop I sit as judge and jury C Am G There's a lonely stretch of blacktop G Am Between here and home C G Am Drop down into the valley G Am Piano playin' in the living room F Am And when you see the white barn G Am You'll know the journey's through C G Am My dog's barking in the backseat G Am Cause he knows it too Dm - C - G Am The clock strikes the hour Tonight we ride The clock strikes the hour Tonight we ride The clock strikes the hour Tonight we ride G You've got three more seconds Am To choose sides
