Music: Elton John Lyrics: Bernie Taupin Note of Interest: Apparently Dusty Springfield's on baking vocals for this song. =] Capo 1 Intro: | D | G/D | D | G/D | D |
From Dthis day on IG/D own my fathF#m7er's gun. BmWe dug his shallow Bm/Agrave beneath theG sun.
A F#/A# Bm D/A G I laid his broken body down - below the southern line.
CIt wouldn't do toBm bury him G - where any YankeA7e stands.
DI'll take my horse and I'llG/D ride the norF#m7thern plain. BmTo wear the colour of the Bm/Agreys and join the fight Gagain. A F#/A# Bm D/A G I'll not rest until I know - the cause is fought and won. From Cthis day on, uBmntil I die,G I'll wear my father'Ds gun.
CHORUS:
F#I'd like to know where the rBmiverboat sAm7ails to - Gnight.
F#7To New Orleans well tBmhat's just fAm7ine al - Gright. E A F#/A# F# Bm Am `Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men. G A | C/D * D * | D7 G/D D * | So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend.
D G /D F#m7 As soon as this is over we'll go home.
BmTo plant the seeds of Bm/Ajustice in ourG bones. A F#/A# Bm D/A G To watch the children growing - and see the women sewing. There'll be Claughter when theBm bells of freedomG ring. D
(Repeat Chorus 5x to Fade)
