Tom: A
A-
[Verse 1]
C D- A-
If there's a good man in you, you killed him today
C D- A-
Took him out for a drink and then you put him in his grave
C D- A-
Drove him outside a town far away from his house
C D- A-
So when the bullet rang out, no one else heard a sound
[Verse 2]
C D- A-
If there's a good man in you, he's dead in the dirt
C D- A-
But he'll be survived by the people he hurt
C D- A-
Then they'll gather in masses, for him, they will mourn
C D- A-
A prodigal son from the day you were born
[Chorus]
F C D-
Ooh ooh, what have you become?
F C D-
Ooh ooh, you were your mother's son
F C D-
Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know
F C D-
Ooh ooh, I wish it spared you
C E- G A-
In with a cry and out with a gun
[Interlude]
A-
F C G D- A-
[Verse 3]
C D- A-
If there's a good man in you, you killed him again
C D- A-
You poisoned the well of someone you called a friend
C D- A-
I think you'd rather they hate you but I don't think they do
C D- A-
They're just sad you keep killin' the good men in you
[Chorus]
F C D-
Ooh ooh, what have you become?
F C D-
Ooh ooh, you were your mother's son
F C D-
Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know
F C D-
Ooh ooh, I wish it spared you
C E- G A-
In with a cry and out, oh, with a gun
[Bridge]
A- E

God as my witness, I hate to see you this way
E F C G
And I believe in forgiveness but I don't know if people can change
D-
You tell me
A-
You tell me
[Chorus]

Ooh ooh, what have you become?

Ooh ooh, you were your mother's son

Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know

In with a cry and out with a gun
