G C There's a rumour going around on the backside of town G C A# Jake is out to get some revenge Has fire in his eyes since his brother died Shot down by a so-called friend C For a fifty dollar gram is what the neighbors say G Drugs had control of his life C Caught up on crack you're trying to think back D The devil had him hooked you could see it in his eyes G C G C A# It's a killer There's a cold house at the corner of the street The kids come and go there at night Jerry drove up in front of the house Somebody pulled out a knife Jerry freaked out and went for his gun Shot him right between the eyes All he ever wanted was a twenty dollar high But now he's locked up for the rest of his life Chorus: G C G C A# It's a killer G C G C A# there's no way out baby once your in It's a killer steal from your family Then you'll turn on your friends It's a killer It can happen to you So don't you never, never give in It's a killer The neighborhood I used to call home These days it's looking like a war zone Unemployment on the rise but the black market thrives Money just keeps changing hands The laws are getting tough sometimes it's not enough To satisfy supply and demand Trouble breaks out there's fighting in the streets Bullets flying all around An innocent child caught in the line of fire All because there weren't enough drugs to go around Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
