E *

E
Look out, Mama,
A
there's a white boat
E AE
comin' up the river
A
With a big red beacon,

and a flag,
E AE
and a man on the rail
A
I think you'd better call John,
C#m
'Cause it don't

look like they're here
E A
to deliver, the mail
G#m A
And it's less than a mile away
G#m A
I hope they didn't come to stay
G#m
It's got numbers on the side
C#m
and a gun
B
And it's makin' big waves.

E A/E

E
Daddy's gone,
A
my brother's out hunting
E AE
in the mountains
A
Big John's been drinking
E AE
since the river took Emmy-Lou
A
So the powers that be
C#m
left me here
E
to do the thinkin'
G#m A
And I just turned twenty-two
G#m A
I was wonderin' what to do
G#m
And the closer they got,
C#m B
The more those feelings grew.

E AE

E A
Daddy's rifle in my hand
E AE
felt reassurin'

He said,
A
Red means run, son,
E AE
numbers add up to nothin'
A
But when the first shot
C#m E
hit the docks I saw it comin'
G#m A
Raised my rifle to my eye
G#m A
Never stopped to wonder why.
G#m
Then I saw black,
C#m B
And my face splashed in the sky.

E AE

E A
Shelter me from the powder
E AE
and the finger
A
Cover me with the thought
E AE
that pulled the trigger
A
Think of me
C#m E
as one you'd never figured
G#m A
Would fade away so young
G#m A
With so much left undone
G#m C#m
Remember me to my love,
B
I know I'll miss her.

E AE
