[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C F
If you could do it without anyone saying that you'd committed a crime
Dm G C
Make a short list of folks you could destroy for this and all time

[Chorus]
C
Who would you shoot in the face?
F
Who would you shoot in the brain?
Dm
Who would you shoot in the back?
C
And leave bleeding out in the rain?
F
Who would you shoot in the leg?
C
How many times in the neck?
Dm G
Who would you shoot? And then how would you feel, exalted?
C
Or destroyed?

[Verse 2]
C F
Well, I had a friend who was shot seven times as she tried, scared, to run

away
Dm G C
She couldn’t scream, her mouth had been shot, and now she's not with us today

[Chorus]
C
Oh, who would you shoot in the face?
F
Who would you shoot in the brain?
Dm
Who would you shoot in the back?
