I was looking at the first two versions of the tabs for this song and found that the
bar chords throughout the song sound better and won't give you carpel tunnel if a capo is
and they are played as open chords. Also I added another chord that transitions well
the last note of the pattern to the first which i can here in the actual song. This is
first tab, but a simple song, so here it goes.
Note: - the chords are placed directly above the syllable that should be sung.

[Em] Mr.Dali [D]Lamas
[Am] Another sister's shootin' [G]heroin tomorrow
[Em] Amputees in [D]Freetown
Sierra Le[Am]one's
The [G]church wasn't honest
[Em] The state put the [D]youth in a harness
[Am] Creatin' [G]hostility among us
[Em] Teacher said [D]no college
[Am] Still the kid's gotta [G]get a check with a couple [Em]commas

Chorus - Play 2x's
But what you've [Em]done here

And it won't be [Em]long before
You're [D]pulling yourself [Am]away[G]
Verse 2:
I've been [Em]knowing her for years[D]
I've been [Am]seeing her for years[G]
She got [Em]dark, dark wavy [D]hair
With a [Am]voice like she just don't [G]care
She got a [Em]skirt with a halter [D]top
She's got a [Am]dad who never gave a [G]f
She drinks a [Em]beer with her mom 'til [D]dawn
She got knocked [Am]up in a pickup [G]truck
But she got [Em]engaged when she was nine[D]teen
To this [Am]dude who was acting in[G]sane
Had a .4[Em]5 that he always [D]cleaned
Said one [Am]day one day one [G]too many days
Now she [Em]ducked and she ran a[D]way
Never to be [Am]heard from, never to be [G]seen
I check the [Em]cover of a maga[D]zine
I'm just [Am]wondering how, just [G]wonde[-]ring[D/F#]
Chorus - Play 2x's
But what you've [Em]done here
Is [D]put yourself between a [Am]bullet and a target[G]
And it won't be [Em]long before
You're [D]pulling yourself [Am]away[G]
