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
