Intro: Em Em Em G B

Verse 1:
     Em
Now, Tommy's a good father

Of two sons and a daughter
       Em                        A
But he wakes up and he asks himself:
          G
"Why even bother?"
      Em
If he cannot feed his family

The wage he's paid's insanity
Em                            A           G
Every day he's dealing with a new calamity
         Em
Lost his old occupation

But it wasn't immigration
Em                     A               G
It was a machine, automation that replaced him
Em
Politicians left him, corruption since the recession
      Em                                        A                 G
So he grabs his Smith and Wesson and says he'll teach 'em all the lesson like:

Interlude: B D

Chorus:
                 Em
"Get down on the ground!
                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!
                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!"

Verse 2: Em  Em

    Em
Now first he'd lost his pension

Sunk into depression
Em
Congress is defecting
          A             G
It's been adding to the tension
Em
Came back from war, and he's been post-traumatic stressing
Em                           A               G
Can't afford his medicine he took for his aggression
   Em
He needs help, relying on this system that rejects him
Em                          A                 G
Took away his benefits, but left him with his weapon
         Em
Bought a one way ticket

He's entering the thicket
   Em                              A                G
To do the only thing that he's thinking will make a difference like:

Interlude: B D

Chorus:
                 Em
"Get down on the ground!
                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round
                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!
                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
       B         D
Let it rain over Washington!"

   Em Em Em A G
   Em Em Em A G
   C     D

          Em        Em        Em        A G
There's a cold wind blowing
          Em        Em        Em        A G
I'm just warning and preparing ya
          Em        Em        Em        A G
There's a cold wind blowing
          C                   B         D
And it's coming for America
          Em
And it's coming for America

   Em Em Em A G

Chorus:
                 Em
"Get down on the ground!
                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!
                               G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
                                     A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
                               C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
       B         D             Em
Let it rain over Washington!"
