Listening Guide: Bullets in the Gun Introduction: Banjo and guitars. Quiet beginning. Chorus: Powerful instruments. Increased tempo. Second verse is faster than the first. Guitar combo is

signature. The Second verse is the peak of the song. Loudest

instruments. Slow third verse is excellent use of rise and fall of

rhythm. Final chorus: energetic ending fades to the end.

the song. Marching drums and piano close the song.
