Well hes been collecting since the age of nine
EmCG
Every shiny bullet that he could find
GCG
Built himself a house with the wooden floors
EmCG
Put the shiny bullets in a chest of drawers
Verse 2GCG
Well his wifes long gone and the kids have grown
EmCG
And trees they fall down on their own
GCG
Memories fade like an old slideshow
EmCG
But the bullets still shine like coins in the snow
