My M-16

©2007 Garrett Clevenger

 

Am                              My baby left me, while I'm at war.

                                    Far away,                     that dirty whore.

G  Am  Em  Am         I don my camo             and pick up my M-16.

 

Am                              My baby left me. I'm on the street

                                    drivin' my humvee,        'cause I can't sleep.

G  Am  Em  Am         Wearin' my camo holdin' my M-16.

 

Am                              My baby left me. My mind's ajar.

                                    I see some riff-raff,       not too far.

G  Am  Em  Am         They see my camo        and my M-16.

 

Chorus:

Dm F C    G X2          My    baby left me.       For fightin' in this war.

Dm F C                       She's afraid                   when I come back

Em F G  Am               I'm gonna be,                I'm gonna be too sore.

 

Am                              My baby left me           but I can't cry.

                                    I don't care who they are,      they're gonna die.

G  Am  Em  Am         Here in my camo I point my M-16.

 

Am                              My baby left me. I sing my song.

                                    Over their bodies that I've done wrong.

G  Am  Em  Am         Blood on my camo       an empty M-16.

 

Am                              My baby left me, now I'm in the brig.

                                    They finally stopped me, but other soldiers step in

G  Am  Em  Am         Wearin' their camo        and killin' with their M-16.
