[Verse I] G There's a rifle in my closet D made in 1893 Em carved right on the barrel C it says Winchester Company
G It's been passed through generations D I've been taught to use it well Em It's put food there on the table C and it ain't never been for sale G There's people on my TV D telling me what's right and wrong Em Not one damned gun of mine C has ever pulled the trigger on its own [Chorus] G From my cold dead hands D it's about you and me Em ain't no redneck thing C why don't you understand G you can bitch and moan D all you want Em you'll get my gun C from my cold dead hands [Verse II] G There's an amendment to a paper D up in Washington DC
Em Ratified and voted on C by folks like you and me G Well it's made it through the ages D guarantees this country free Em you can bet your bottom dollar C it ain't ending here with me [Chorus] G From my cold dead hands D it's about you and me Em ain't no redneck thing C why don't you understand G you can bitch and moan D all you want Em you'll get my gun C from my cold dead hands
