Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Some people  get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed  limit
Scaring  the pedestrians for a minute
Crossing  up progress driving on the grass
Leaving  just enough room to pass
Sunday  driver never took a test
 Oh yeah, once  upon a time in the west
 Yes its no  use saying that you don t know nothing
It  s still gonna get you if you don t do something
Sitting  on a fence that s a dangerous course
 Oh, you could even  catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force
Even  the hero gets a bullet in the chest
 Oh yeah, once  upon a time in the west
Mother  Mary your children are slaughtered
Some  of you mothers ought to lock up your daughters
Who  s protecting the innocent
Heap  big trouble in the land of plenty
Tell  me how were gonna do what s best
 You guess once  upon a time in the west
 Oh yeah, once  upon a time in the west  3x
