[Verse 1]
G                          
Spending the night I'm over
   D
a room full of thumbtacks
Bm
Nothing hits harder than a 
day without light
G                        
With you at the fall from
          D
 brighter days flying by
Bm
Nothing hits harder than
a day without light

[Chorus]
G                        
So throw out your change 
         D
through the eye of a needle
Bm
Drop the gun, turn and run
 away

[Verse 2]
G                     D
We sailed in to stay, place
 of backward colours
Bm
Tangled up in a net not 
knowing what's wrong or right
G                          
Sinking down to the debt as
 D
 good goes floating goes
  floating by
Bm
Nothing hits harder than
 a day without light

G                        
So throw out your change

through the eye of a needle
Bm
Drop the gun, turn and run away
G
Putting words in my mouth
D
Thank yous are never see through
Bm
Shooting backwards arrows
Bm
Don't sleep it never pays

[Bridge]
G        D    Bm
Drop the gun
G        D    Bm
Drop the gun
G        D    Bm
Drop the gun, turn and
run away, turn and run away
G        D    Bm
Drop the gun, turn and 
run away, turn and run away

How to play Drop The Gun: key, chords and progression

Drop The Gun by Bootleg Rascal is centred on B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 3 chords: G, D and Bm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – D – Bm – G (VI – III – i – VI in B minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
