Bob Dylan - License to Kill

[verse 1]
Gb                    Ebm
Man thinks ’cause he rules the earth
        Db                Gb
he can do with it as he please
       Gb            Ebm
And if things don’t change soon,
Db     Ab7sus4  Db
  he will
    B                    Gb
Oh, man has invented his doom
      Gb                     B
First step was touching the moon

[chorus]
               Ebm  Db  B
Now, there’s a woman
      Ebm  Db  B
On my block
        Ebm  Db  B
She just sit there
                   Ebm  Db  B
As the night grows still
        Gb               Db
She say who gonna take away his
             Gb    Gbsus4 Gb
license to kill?

[verse 2]
          Gb                 Ebm
Now, they take him and they teach him
Db                       Gb
and they groom him for life
         Gb            Ebm
And they set him on a path where he’s
              Db    Ab7sus4  Db
bound to get ill
          B             Gb
Then they bury him with stars
         Gb                      B
Sell his body like they do used cars

[chorus]
               Ebm  Db  B
Now, there’s a woman
      Ebm  Db  B
On my block
        Ebm  Db  B
She just sit there
           Ebm  Db  B
Facing the hill
        Gb               Db
She say who gonna take away his
             Gb      Gbsus4 Gb
license to kill?

[verse 3]
          Gb               Ebm
Now, he’s hell-bent for destruction,
Db                   Gb
he’s afraid and confused
        Gb                 Ebm
And his brain has been mismanaged with
       Db    Ab7sus4  Db
great skill
B                       Gb
All he believes are his eyes
        Gb                        B
And his eyes, they just tell him lies

[chorus]
               Ebm  Db  B
But, there’s a woman
      Ebm  Db  B
On my block
        Ebm  Db  B
She just sit there
          Ebm  Db  B
In a cold chill
        Gb               Db
She say who gonna take away his
             Gb   Gbsus4  Gb
license to kill?

[middle 8]
            Ebm
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker
Gb
Heartbreaker, backbreaker
Abm                 Gb
  Leave no stone unturned
          Ebm
May be an actor in a plot
              Gb
That might be all that you got
          Abm                Db
’Til your error you clearly learn

[verse 4]
       Gb              Ebm
Now he worships at an altar
Db              Gb
of a stagnant pool
            Gb          Ebm
And when he sees his reflection,
         Db    Ab7sus4  Db
he’s fulfilled
    B                      Gb
Oh, man is opposed to fair play
            Gb                       B
He wants it all and he wants it his way

[chorus]
               Ebm  Db  B
Now, there’s a woman
      Ebm  Db  B
On my block
        Ebm  Db  B
She just sit there
                   Ebm  Db  B
As the night grows still
        Gb               Db
She say who gonna take away his
             Gb      Gbsus4 Gb
license to kill?
