There’s a [C]dark and a [F]troubled side of [C]life

In this country that we call the [G]USA [G7]

We’re [G]outnumbered by guns and under [C]fire

And [G7]violence it happens every [C]day

CHORUS:

[C]Put all the guns aside, [F]put all the guns aside

[C]Put all the guns aside right [G]now [G7]

Sweep them [C]up and melt them [C7]down, we’ll be [F]safer down in [C]town

If we put [F]all the [C]guns [G7]aside right [C]now

Oh the [C]storm and its [F]fury broke [C]today

Crushing hopes that we cherish so [G]dear [G7]

Another [G]incident that causes us [C]dismay

And [G7]more of us are living in [C]fear

CHORUS:

[C]Put all the guns aside, [F]put all the guns aside

[C]Put all the guns aside right [G]now [G7]

Sweep them [C]up and melt them [C7]down, we’ll be [F]safer down in [C]town

If we put [F]all the [C]guns [G7]aside right [C]now

Let us [C]greet with a [F]song of hope each [C]day

And keep working for what we know to be [G]true [G7]

Hold the [G]line, get out the vote and be [C]brave

[G7]Together there’s no stopping what we [C]do

CHORUS:

[C]Put all the guns aside, [F]put all the guns aside

[C]Put all the guns aside right [G]now [G7]

Sweep them [C]up and melt them [C7]down, we’ll be [F]safer down in [C]town

If we put [F]all the [C]guns [G7]aside right [C]now
