Am Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7
Fmaj7
 
[Verse 1]
Am           C/B  C
I can barely make out 
Am               C/B    C            G      Fmaj7
A little light from the house on the cul-de-sac
             Am     Fmaj7             C G Fmaj7 Am
A bedroom upstairs, it's a family affair
 
Am
 
[Verse 2]
                C/B C     Am
I've watched you in class,
              C/B  C            G           Fmaj7
Your eyes are cut glass and you stay covered up
        Am/G  Am  Fmaj7             C  G  Fmaj7 Am
Head to your toes, so nobody will notice you
 
Am
 
[Chorus]
G       Em       Fmaj7
I might not be a man yet, 
                      C
But that bastard will never be
                    G       Gsus4 G
So I'm cleaning my Weatherby
               Am          Am/G         Fmaj7
I sight in my scope, and I hope against hope, 
               Am
I hope against hope
 
[Instrumental]
Am C/B C
Am C/B C G  Fmaj7
na na na na       na na na na 
Am Fmaj7 C G  Fmaj7
   na na na na
Fmaj7
 
[Verse 3]
Am            C/B C
Your mother seems nice, 
Am            C/B  C             G        Fmaj7
I don't understand why she won't say anything
          Am/G  Am Fmaj7                 C G Fmaj7 Am
As if she can't see who he turned out to be
 
Am
 
[Chorus]
G       Em       Fmaj7
I might not be a man yet, 
                       C
But your father will never be
                 G       Gsus4 G
So I load up my Weatherby
               Am           Am/G       Fmaj7
I let out my breath, and I couple with death, 
               Am
I couple with death

[Verse 4]
Am              C/B  C
Saw your father last night, 
Am            C/B C            G      Fmaj7
In the window the light made a silhouette
                      Am
Saw him hold you that way, 
Fmaj7                    C    G      Fmaj7
He won't hold you that way anymore, Yvette

Upon first time through, seems pretty damn right on. Nice job!

I think the F should be 03321x w/ pull offs on the 3rd, then 4th string.

sounds great apart from the major 7th in the F..i think its more likely F/C or X33211 or the same without the top F note..the major 7th seems to jar slightly..
