Big Gun

Noises from Brian 
 
Riot on the radio, pictures on the TV 
Invader man take what he can, shootout on the silver screen 
Stickinґ ґem up and knocking them down, living out a fantasy 
Thereґs a bad man cruising around in a big black limousine 
Donґt let it be wrong, donґt let it be right 
Get in his way, youґre dead in his sights 
 
Big gun 
Big gun 
Number one 
Big gun 
Big gun kick the hell out of you 
 
Terminators, Uzi makers, shootinґ up Hollywood 
Snakes alive with a forty-five, getting off and doing no good. 
If you ainґt wise, theyґll cannibalise, tear flesh off you 
Classified, lady killers, prayinґ in the human zoo 
They saddle you up and take you to town 
Better look out, when he come around 
 
Big gun 
Big gun 
Number one 
Big gun 
Big gun kick the hell out of you 
 
Show down 
Yeah 
 
LEAD BREAK + more noises from Brian Johnson 
 
Big gun 
Big gun 
Number one 
mmmmmmmmmmm 
aauuugh aauuugh 
yaay yaaay 
mmmmmmmmmmms 
buba buba buba buba buba buba 
Big gun, gotta hot one 
Big gun, gotta number one 
Big gun, loaded and cocked 
Big gun, hot hot hot 
Got big gun, ready or not 
Big gun, give it, give it a shot, come on 
 
(During next two lines Big Gun is repeated in background) 
Terminator, Uzi Maker 
Regulators, gonna get you later 
 
Big gun kick the hell out of you 
 
 
Two guitars in this one -- guitar 1, which plays Riff A and all 
the solos, is a clean electric.  Guitar 2, which plays the 
rest, is distorted.  To get it "officially," use both guitars; 
if it doesnґt matter (probably), one will do fine. 
 
Lyrics are questionable at best since 
I can barely hear them -- might want 
to see a doctor about that throat.

get it close enough] 
 
Repeat the CHORUS once more and then free-form it to the end.
