Pigeon Run chords by
Harry Chapin
Harry Chapin

N/A
Verse 1
D

One, two, a -one, two,
Dm
D

three, four

Frozen in each town and village
Am

In the central square
D

Never in a dark museum,
G

but in the open air
B
Em

A monument to mortal glories,
Gm

wars that we've won, surely
G
D

All of us have heard the stories,
Cm
D

how his deeds were done
Cm
D

Ah, Pigeon Run

The day that they unveiled his statue,

and the bands that played
Am
D

We all heard a widow weeping,
G

while the mayor prayed
B

The words they chiseled in the marble
Em

were shadows in the sun
Gm
D

Saying, all our boys who went to battle
Cm
D

is the bravest one
Cm
C
D

Ah, pigeon run

And pigeons perch upon his shoulder
C

The boy who's never growing older
Am

An old man comes
Em

To scrub the stains
C

But when he's gone
D

They're back again

The boy who'd never be forgotten
Am

The boy who knew no fear
D

For charging when the bugles blew
G

He gets a reef each year
B

And there he stands through

all the seasons
Em
Gm

Clutching at his gun
G
D

Stone cold blind

But that's the reason
Cm
C
D

He's on pigeon run
Cm
D

Oh Pigeon run

And pigeons perch upon his shoulder
C

They spread his head with fertilizer,
Am

but no hair grows
Em

Upon his head
C

Nothing grows

When you are dead

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
