License To Kill  by Bob Dylan
---------------  ------------
I have written this in the key of C so it can be easily transposed: to
play it in the original key (F#) put a capo on fret 6.
**  The chords marked Fmaj7 and Csus4 I play as (xx3210) and (x33010),
    respectively.
*** The chord sequences for verses 2, 3 and 4 are the same as verse 1.
VERSE 1
CMan thinks 'cause he Amrules the earth
He can Gdo with it as he Cplease
And if Cthings don't Amchange soon, Ghe will
Oh, Fman has invented his dCoom
First Cstep was Ctouching Gthe Fmoon
Now there's a Amwoman Fon my blockAm  F  
She just sit Amthere Fas the night grow AmstillF  
                       C                    G    C   Fmaj7   Csus4    C**
She say who gonna take away his license to kill
VERSE 2 ***
Now, they take him and they teach him
And they groom him for life
And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill
Then they bury him with stars
Sell his body like they do used cars
Now there's a woman on my block
She just sit there facin' the hill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill
VERSE 3
Now, he's hell bent for destruction
He's afraid and confused
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill
All he believes are his eyes
And his eyes they just tell him lies
But there's a woman on my block
Sitting there in a cold chill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill
May be Amnoisemaker, spirit maker
CHeartbreaker, backbreaker
  FLeave no stone unCturned
May be an Amactor in a plot
That might be Call that you got
Till your Dmerror you clearly lGearn
VERSE 4
Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool
And when he sees his reflection he's fulfilled
Oh, man is opposed to fair play
He wants it all and he wants it his way
Now, there's a woman on my block
She just sit there as the night grow still
She say who gonna take away his license to kill
