Loaded Gun in the Closet Lyrics
The song is basically three chords, played normally, sus2, and sus4
by moving around 1 fret or two on the "e" and high "c" strings.
Cooley walks among these combinations a lot, and from time to time,
picks the melody on the middle C string, sliding between the notes
while playing a C chord with the remaining srings.
Tuning C F G
F & G chords are usually strummed string-by-string as if they were picked,
playing the "e" as a distinctive drone at the end of the chord.
C-Riff: C with sus2 & sus4
e 1p0 0 0 1p0 0 x
'x'=don't play/mute if 'e' string

He's got a loaded gun in the closet
And another one in the dresser drawer
Just in case the one in the closet
-Riff
Didn't make a big enough hole.
She had his breakfast ready every morning
And his lunch in a box sitting out by the kitchen door.
She'd make sure he had everything he needed
And hug his neck and tell him how much she loved him
And it was beautiful. You should have seen it.
-Riff
... Remaining verses, chords are the same ...
