The John Bull Tin
=================
by: Tom Russell
written by: Tom Russell - Frontera Music
G (strum the chord once slowly)
G D C G
He said his pride and joy was that ol' John Bull Tin....
G D
1. He said it saved him from a bullet once
C G
But I did not believe
G D
He's just an old man in the park half drunk on rum
G D C G
As he rolled another smoke and closed the John Bull Tin
G D G
He said, "I've carried that since 1941."
Chorus:
G C
Rubbed and worn a shiny silver
G
Blue letters chipped away
G D
His memories and tabacco fit within
G G7 C G
He had one religious medal that he carried near his heart
G D G
But his pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
G D
2. He said. "It used to be a tire patch kit
C G
But that was long ago
G D
It's memories and tabacco now my friend
G D
Ya know some folks need a magic lamp
C G
To conjure up their dreams
G D G
But mine are kept inside the John Bull Tin."
Repeat Chorus
Solo: strum through one verse
G D
3. I found it lyin' in the grass
C G
In a park near Shepherd's Bush
G D
I never saw that old man again
G D
I guess he rolled a final smoke
C G
And went to his reward
G D G
Why else would he have dropped the John Bull Tin?
Repeat Chorus
G D C D G
His pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
