A# *
A#Look out, Mama,
there's a Cwhite boat
comin' up the A#river C/G
With a Cbig red beacon,
and a flag,
and a man on the A#rail C/G
I think you'd Cbetter call John,
'Cause it Emdon't
look like they're here
to deA#liver, the mCail
And it's Dmless than a mile Caway
I Dmhope they didn't come toC stay
It's got Dmnumbers on the side
and a Emgun
And it's makin' big Fwaves.
A# C/G
A#Daddy's gone,
my brother's out Chunting
in the A#mountains C/G
Big CJohn's been drinking
since the river took Emmy-A#Lou C/G
So the Cpowers that be
left Emme here
to do the A#thinkin'
And I Dmjust turned twentyC-two
I was Dmwonderin' what toC do
And the Dmcloser they got,
The Emmore those feelingsF grew.
A# C/G
A#Daddy's rifle in my hCand
felt reasA#surin' C/G
He said,
CRed means run, son,
numbers add up to A#nothin' C/G
But when the Cfirst shot
hit the Emdocks I saw itA# comin'
Raised my Dmrifle to myC eye
Never Dmstopped to wonderC why.
Then DmI saw black,
And my Emface splashed in theF sky.
A# C/G
A#Shelter me from the pCowder
and the A#finger C/G
CCover me with the thought
that pulled the A#trigger C/G
CThink of me
as Emone you'd neverA# figured
Would Dmfade away soC young
With Dmso much left uCndone
ReDmmember me to myEm love,
I know I'll Fmiss her.
