ARTIST: Frank Loesser
TITLE: Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
Lyrics and Chords


[ F#dim7 = ]

Down went the gunner, a bullet was his fate
Down went the gunner, and then the gunner's mate
Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look
And manned the gun himself as he laid aside the Book, shouting

/ G - D7 - G D7 G D7 / / G - G7 - C - - - /
/ G Em A7 - D7 - - - /

{Refrain}
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free

/ G - C - G C G - / D7 - - - Am7 F#dim7 G D7 /
/ G - C - G G7 C Cm / G - D7 - G - D7sus4 D7 /

Praise the Lord and swing into position
Can't afford to sit around a-wishin'
[or Can't afford to be a politician]
Praise the Lord, we're all between perdition
And the deep blue sea

Yes the sky pilot said it
Ya gotta give him credit
For a sonofagun of a gunner was he, shouting

/ D7 - - - / G B7 Em - / A7 A9 A7 - D7 C D7 - /

Praise the Lord, we're on a mighty mission
All aboard, we're not a-goin' fishin'
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free

{Refrain twice}
