D          C               Am            D     C    Am     
I'm a cool three pounds of cold blue steel 
      D          C               Am            D     C    Am    
I shoot even better than the way I feel 
made to fit right in your hand 
why I'll never understand 

I coulda been a hammer or a railroad spike 
I coulda been a train rollin' through the night 
but they gave my voice such a terrible sound 
that I wish they'd left me in the ground 

         G      D 
I'm a peacemaker 
C         Am                   D     C    Am     
don't know how I got my name 
      G 
I'm a peacemaker 
      A 
if I don't deserve the credit 
       C                          D          C         Am         
why do I deserve the blame 


When the lion lays down with the lamb 
then you won't find me in nobody's hand 
till that time I will remain 
till the sinners lay down with the saints 


I'm a peacemaker 
don't know how I got my name 
I'm a peacemaker 
if I don't deserve the credit 
why do I deserve the blame 


I'm a peacemaker 
don't know how I got my name 
I'm a peacemaker 
if I don't deserve the credit 
why do I deserve the blame 

I'm a cool three pounds of cold blue steel 
I shoot even better than the way I feel
