Runrig - The Everlasting Gun
CAPO: 2nd fret
INTRO: G C G C Am D
G C G
So here you go, you're on your own
C D
The flower blooms so freely
G C G
For fortune, musket, fife and drum
C D
Your faking days won't leave you
C Am D
'Cause young man now you nurse the gun
C Am D
You're nervous in the morning
G Am G C
'Neath shattered skies your body lies
Am C D G D C D
On the dark side of reason
G C G
The blood is lusting in your heart
C D
Your flesh red hot and lonely
G C G
And vengeance gulps the bitter cup
C D
That once held wine so sweetly
C Am D
But young man, legends still unfold
C Am D
For regiment, for glory
G Am G C
You search for gold, like you've been told
Am C D
And the light of day won't leave you
CHORUS:
G
But run
C D G
You'll never turn and run
C D G
The everlasting gun
C D G
Your day will surely come
C D
You'll never run
INTERLUDE: G C Am D G C Am D
G C G
For fickle kings, you click the heels
C D
Where a bleak moon leans so weary
G C G
Forgotten names on faceless graves
C D G
Your father's home awaits you
C Am D
Oh, the warrior is not the fool
C Am D
The refugee of freedom
G Am G C
But the outlawed man who holds no gun
Am C D
On the dark side of reason
CHORUS:
G
But run
C D G
You'll never turn and run
C D G
The everlasting gun
C D G
Your day will surely come
C D
You'll never run
CHORUS:
G
But run
C D G
You'll never turn and run
C D G
The everlasting gun
C D G
Your day will surely come
C D
You'll never run
