 Song: Gun 
 Band: Soundgarden 
 Album: Louder Than Love 
 Tuning: DADGBE 
  
 The coolest thing about this song is that it starts off really slow (60 
 bpm?) And gets faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster 
 until a really fast and short guitar solo.

 Lyrics:     
  
      1st Verse: 
      I got an idea of something we can do with a gun 
      Sink load and fire till the empire 
      Reaps what they've sown 
      Shoot shoot shoot till their minds are open 
      Shoot shoot till thei eyes are closed 
      Push push push till we get some motion 
      Push push till the bombs explode 
  
      2nd Verse: 
      I got an idea. We can do it all on our own. 
      Nothing to worry. Regret must weigh a ton 
      Kick kick kick till the laws are broken 
      Kick kick till the boots are worn 
      Hit hit hit till the truth is spoken 
      Hit hit till the truth is born 
  
      3rd Verse: 
      I got an idea of something we can do with a gun
