Timing is approximate, but fairly close.
(with verse riff of course)
We aren't ourselves
Brains on the shelf
We'll all wake up
When Ringo buys a rifle
We live we breathe
We spread disease
That all must end
When Ringo buys a rifle
People told him what to say
Ordered (???) dream away
Paul was dubbing Ringo's drumming
John was dubbing Ringo's humming
People were starting to talk
(play short sharp chords here, exactly as shown, in time with the words)
We start wars
forget the poor
That all must change
Ringo buys a rifle
We stand tall
Try to evolve
We'll walk on water
Ringo buys a rifle
Animals will bear their fangs
Pope will join a gang
We'll all get new shoes
When Ringo buys a rifle
Buildings come crashing down
Lost things will be found
Life'll be so much better
When Ringo buys a rifle
Tried to keep his head level
Was possessed by the devil
Church is callin' Ringo's mom
Telling her Ringo's a bum
Rumors are starting to fly
We'll be one
To love a gun
That's how we'll live
Ringo buys a rifle
We start small
Must learn to crawl
We'll learn to fly
Ringo buys a rifle
(let chords ring)
Doesn't want to be cute
He just wants to shoot
Blow them away
Make them all pay
His mind has jumped track
He's a Beatle maniac
Hey Paul, you asshole - DUB THIS!
(back to verse riff)
When Ringo buys a rifle
When Ringo buys a rifle
People told him what to say
Ordered (???) away
Paul was dubbing Ringo's drumming
John was dubbing Ringo's humming
People were starting to talk
He is one with indoor plumbing
Paul's still dubbing Ringo's drumming
He's formed with the NRA
(???) away
Rumors are starting to fly
He let (???) acid dream away
End on D.
