Tom Thompson came paddling past
B D A E
I'm pretty sure it was him
B D A E
And he spoke so softly in accordance
B D A E
With the growing of the dim
B D A E
He said, "Bring on the brand new renaissance
B D A E
Cause I think I'm ready
B D A E
I've been shaking all night long
B D A E
But my hands are steady."
[CHORUS]
G D A
Three pistols came
G D A G
and three people went, on their way
G D A
Three pistols strong and three people spent
B D A E

B D A E
Well he found his little lonely love
B D A E
His bride of the northern woods
B D A E
But, she took me to the Opera House
B D A E
Like she said she would
B D A E
Then she sighed and she fell from the balcony
B D A E
Shakespeare bent to touch
B D A E
She never had any time for me
B D A E
Cause I didn't protest enough
[CHORUS]
G D A
Three pistols came
G D A G
and three people went, on their way
G D A
Two pistols strong and three people spent

[VERSE]
B A B A A E
Little girls come on remembrance day
A A
Placing flowers on his grave
B A B A A E
She waits in the shadows 'til after dark
A A
To sweep them all away
B A B A A E
I say, bring on the brand new renaissance
A A
Cause I think I'm ready
B A B A A E
I've been shaking all night long
A A
But my hands are steady
[CHORUS]
G D A
Three pistols came
G D A G
and three people went, on their way
G D A
Three pistols strong and three people spent
G D A
Three pistols came
G D A G
and three people went, on their way
G D A
One pistol strong and three people spent
