The John Bull Tin ================= by: Tom Russell written by: Tom Russell - Frontera Music
G (strum the chord once slowly)
GDCG He said his pride and joy was that ol' John Bull Tin....
GD 1. He said it saved him from a bullet once CG But I did not believe GD He's just an old man in the park half drunk on rum GDCG As he rolled another smoke and closed the John Bull Tin GDG He said, "I've carried that since 1941."
Chorus:
GC Rubbed and worn a shiny silver G Blue letters chipped away GD His memories and tabacco fit within GG7CG He had one religious medal that he carried near his heart GDG But his pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
GD 2. He said. "It used to be a tire patch kit CG But that was long ago GD It's memories and tabacco now my friend GD Ya know some folks need a magic lamp CG To conjure up their dreams GDG But mine are kept inside the John Bull Tin."
Repeat Chorus
Solo: strum through one verse
GD 3. I found it lyin' in the grass CG In a park near Shepherd's Bush GD I never saw that old man again GD I guess he rolled a final smoke CG And went to his reward GDG Why else would he have dropped the John Bull Tin?
Repeat Chorus
GDCDG His pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
