G 
Look out, mama,

C 
With a big red beacon,
G 
a flag and a man on the rail
C 
I think you'd better call John,

C 
Bm 
And it's less than a mile away

waves
Daddy is gone,
C 
my brother's out hunting
G 
in the mountains
C 
The job's been drinking
G 
since the river took heavy lube
C 
And the powers that be,
Bm 
C 
left me here to do the thinking
Bm 
And I just turned twenty -two,
C 
Bm 
C 
I was wondering what to do
Bm 
And the closer they got,
C 
the more those feelings grew

Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
G 
C 
He told me red means run son,
G 
numbers add up to nothing
C 
But when the first shot hit the dot,
Bm 
C 
I felt
Bm 
C 
I raised my rifle to my eye,
Bm 
C 
never stopped to wonder why,
Bm 
then I   saw black
C 
and my face flashed in the

sky.
C 
Shelter me from the powder
G

C 
Cover me with the knot
