DGAD Following the harp..."This is the true story"
DGAD
DG Once upon a dusty reservation AD Somewhere in the land of Sittin' Bull DGA Johnny Lobo played with fire and dreamed of open spaces D Locked inside a Heaven gone to hell GFm# All the dreams were gone but not forgotten A Murdered like the holy buffalo Fm#GA Johnny Lobo knew the rules and grew into a warrior D Fightin' for his people and his soul
DG Rooted down with lessons that he carried AD Home from Vietnam to Wounded Knee DGA Johnny Lobo burned the flag he knew had been dishonored D Paid the price for thinkin' he was free GFm# Someone set his house afire, burned it to the ground Fm#A With his wife and children locked inside Fm#GA Later when the bitter tears were falling to the ashes D Somethin' good in Johnny Lobo died
CHORUS
Harp melody...
DG In a darkened corner of a tavern AD Burnin' down old memories again DGA Johnny Lobo stares into the smoke and dreams of clouds D Runnin' like wild horses with the wind GFm# Holy phoenix rising from the ashes Fm#A Into the circle of the sun Fm#GA Johnny Lobo's warrior heart was burnished in the embers D And the battle's just begun
CHORUS
outro: DAG
I´ve tried to place the chords most accurate to the precisely moment when singing lyrics. It means that every single "space" corresponds to the beating and strumming pattern.
So, as an example, when singing the part:
"DG " Rooted down with lessons that he carried ...
Guitar is strumming the chord right before starting singin´, therefore space.
And, therefore also, no space left when:
"AD" Somewhere in the land of Sittin' Bull ...
But every ear, brain and personality chooses the sounds differently. So be free to sing the song as you please. Better enjoy the singin´than get crazy tryin´ mathemathics on a guitar.
