Automatic Rifle Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Rocky Votolato
Here's what I figured out for the song.  I can't find a tab of this song anywhere on the
net. I play it tuned to flat, but you can play it without tuning down, just move all the
chords up a fret.


Intro: Pick the chord, and then do the 2/0 thing.
 Bm

B5                 E5         A5          B5 play intro once
the night I turned 25 it was legos on the floor
    B5                   E5
it seemed like a safe enough game
      A5                   B5 play intro once
for a man to play with his daughter 
(hammer chords)
B5            E5         A5                  B5
an automatic rifle and a bullet through the window
                    E5              A5             B5 back to intro (PM)
and the troops are satisfied that justice had been delivered

(palm mute and strum twice, then play without the palm mute once)
B5                 E5                 A5          B5 back to intro (PM)
that was enough to set the spark of a vision in another 
B5                     E5                     
18 years - 18 year old girl - to see herself a martyr
        A5            B5 back into intro      
to keep up with the cycle
(hammer chords)
 B5              E5          A5                B5
of an automatic rifle and a bullet through the window 
B5                  E5              A5                 B5 back to intro
and the troops were satisfied that justice had been delivered
(not 100% sure about the last verse)
D5         A5          B5             E5 (played on 7th fret)
close your eyes to the suns blinding light
D5            A5                   B5         E5 
a three story concrete house and a steady paycheck 
D5               A5
cause open eyes will be
   B5             E5 
infected with politics
    D5            A5 
and even a smart girl can end up
       B5 (palm mute)        E5 (palm mute)            
with a bomb strapped to her chest

Outro (part where he hums)
B5 F#5 D5 A5 F#5 G5 end on B5
