[/] [C] Look out, Ma, there's a [/] [F] white boat comin' up the [/] [C] river  [/] [C]  
With a [/] [F] big red beacon and a [/] [F] flag and a man on the [/] [C] rail  [/] [C]  
I think you'd [/] [F] better call John 'cause it [/] [F] don't look like they're here
to de- [/] [Em] liver... the [/] [F] mail
And it's [/] [Em] less than a mile a- [/] [F] way
I [/] [Em] hope they didn't come to [/] [F] stay
It's got [/] [Em] numbers on the side and a [/] [F] gun
and it's makin' big [/] [G] waves [/] [G]     


[/] [C]  [/] [F]  [/] [C]  [/] [C]  [/]

 
[/] [C] Daddy's gone and my [/] [F] brother's out huntin' in the [/] [C] mountains   [/] [C]  
Big [/] [F] John's been drinkin' since the [/] [F] river took Emmy [/] [C] Lou  [/] [C]  
So the [/] [F] powers that be left [/] [F] me here to do the [/] [Em] thinkin'  [/] [F]  
And I [/] [Em] just turned twenty- [/] [F] two  
I was [/] [Em] wonderin' what to [/] [F] do   
And the [/] [Em] closer they [/] [F] got   
The more those feelin's [/] [G] grew  [/] [G]       
 

[/] [C]  [/] [F]  [/] [C]  [/] [C]  [/]

 
[/] [C] Daddy's rifle in my [/] [F] hand felt rea- [/] [C] ssurin’  [/] [C]  
He told me [/] [F] "Red means run, son, and [/] [F] numbers add up to [/] [C] nothin'"  [/] [C]  
When the [/] [F] first shot hit the [/] [F] dock I saw it [/] [Em] comin'   [/] [F]  
Raised my [/] [Em] rifle to my [/] [F] eye  
Never [/] [Em] stopped to wonder [/] [F] why  
Then [/] [Em] I saw black and my [/] [F] face splashed in the [/] [G] sky   [/] [G]  
 

[/] [C]  [/] [F]  [/] [C]  [/] [C]  [/] 
 

[/] [C] Shelter me from the [/] [F] powder and the [/] [C] finger  [/] [C]  
[/] [F] Cover me with the [/] [F] thought that pulled the [/] [C] trigger  [/] [C]  
Just [/] [F] think of me as [/] [F] one you never [/] [Em] figured [/] [F] (out)
We [/] [Em] fade away so [/] [F] young
[/] [Em] So much left un- [/] [F] done 
Re- [/] [Em] member me to my [/] [F] love, I know I'll [/] [G] miss her   [/] [G]  
 

[/] [C]  [/] [F]  [/] [C]  [/] [C↓]
