Verse 1
(G major) Look out, mama, there's a (C major) white boat
coming up the (G major) river (C major) (G major)
With a (C major) big red beacon, and a flag,
and a man on the rail (G major) (C major) (G major)
I think you'd (C major) better call John
'Cause it don't look like they're here
to de (B minor) lliver the mail (C major)
And it's (B minor) less than a mile away (C major)
I (B minor) hope they didn't come to stay (C major)
It's got (B minor) numbers on the side and a (C major) gun
And it's making big (D major) waves

Verse 2
(G major) Daddy's gone, my (C major) brother's out
hunting in the (G major) mountains
Big (C major) John's been drinking
since the river took Emmy- Lou (G major)
So the (C major) powers that be
left me here to do the think (B minor) in' (C major)
And I (B minor) just turned twenty- two (C major)
I was (B minor) wondering what to do (C major)
And the (B minor) closer they got
The (C major) more those feelings (D major) grew

felt reassur (G major) ing (C major) (G major)

When the (C major) first shot hit the docks
I saw it com (B minor) ing (C major)

And my (C major) face splashed in the sky (D major)

Would (B minor) fade away so young (C major)
With (B minor) so much left undone (C major)
Re (B minor) member me to my (C major) love
I know I'll (D major) miss her
