JOHN OAKS NEIL YOUNG
INTRO: FGGFG
VERSE: GFG John Oaks is in the neighborhood GFG Protecting all the trees GFG He's the master of irrigation GFG And he knows what he sees
VERSE: GFG Grape farmers watering everywhere GFG Pipes running where they please GFG John sees his laws are broken GFG Trees drowning where they breathe
VERSE: GFG Now John used to be a mellow man GFG Drinking Chai and smoking weed GFG Ain't no one in the county GFG Ever see'd whatever he see'd
CHORUS: GEE7 John Oaks, EE7 John Oaks, EE7 John Oaks, EE7 John Oaks,
VERSE: GFG Old John rides in his pickup GFG With rakes and friends in the back GFG Workers he takes with him GFG Then he drives them all back
VERSE: GFG To protect them from the politicians GFG Using them to get ahead GFG Preying on the people GFG Trying to get inside their heads
VERSE: GFG John Oaks is really stand-up GFG He won't take shit lying down GFG He calls it like he sees it GFG And he puts his money down
CHORUS: GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks,
VERSE: GFG One day at the demonstration GFG John Oaks was standing up GFG He arrived there at the location GFG In his old pickup truck
VERSE: GFG Took a rake in his hand GFG And his workers by his side GFG Stood there waiting for his turn GFG To speak and turn the tide
VERSE: GFG When he found himself surrounded GFG By police everywhere GFG They tried to take his workers to jail GFG When he grabbed one by his hair
CHORUS: GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks,
VERSE: GFG Shots rang out and people yelled GFG As the police took control GFG Shot a black man right where he fell GFG With a sniper on the knoll
VERSE: GFG John Oaks saw law and order GFG Was leading him astray GFG Tried to get back in his pickup GFG With his workers to get away
VERSE: GFG That's when the police moved in GFG And stood there in his way GFG John started up his pickup GFG And that was his last day
CHORUS: GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks, GEE7 John Oaks,
INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO: FG FG FG FCG
VERSE: GFG They said he had a pistol GFG When the old pickup backfired GFG And shot him there behind the wheel GFG And then John Oaks expired
VERSE: GFG The workers grabbed the rakes GFG And that's all that I can say GFG They went to the cemetery GFG And they stay there to this day
CHORUS: GEE7 John Oaks, EE7 John Oaks, EE7 John Oaks, EE7 John Oaks,
