Em               A             Bm 
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Em               A             Bm 
Takes more than license for a gun
Em               A             Bm 
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
        G     A           Bm
A gentleman will walk but never run


Em               A             Bm
