_ _ Look out, mama, [Bb] there's a white boat comin' [F] up the river _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] With a big red beacon and a flag and a man [F] on the rail _ _
_ _ _ I [Bb] think you'd better call John
It don't look like they're [Am] here to deliver _ [Bb] the mail
_ [Am] And it's less than a [Bb] mile away
I [Am] hope they didn't [Bb] come to stay
_ It's [Am] got numbers on the [Bb] side and a gun
It's making [C] big _ waves _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Daddy's gone, [Bb] my brother's out hunting in the mountains
_ Big _ _ _ [Bb] John's been drinking since the river took him, he [F] lives _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] So the powers that be left me here to do the [Am] thinking
_ [Dm] And [Bb] _ _ _ [A] I just turned [Bb] 22, _ I [Am] was wondering [Bb] what to do
The [Am] closer they got, [Bb] the more those [C] feelings grew
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _

Daddy's rifle [Bb] in my hand felt [F] reassuring
He _ _ _ [Bb] told me red means run, son, numbers add up to [F] nothing
_ When _ _ _ [Bb] the first shot hit the dock, I saw [Am] it coming
_ [Bb] Raised _ _
[Am] _ my rifle to [Bb] my eye, _ never [A] stopped to [Bb] wonder why _
_ [Am] Then I saw black in [Bb] my face flash [C] in the sky _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _

Shelter me [Bb] from the powder [F] and the finger
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
Cover me with the thought that [F] pulled the trigger
_ Just _ _ _ [Bb]
think of me as one you [Am] never figured
_ [Bb] Was _ _ gonna [A] fade away [Bb] so young, _ [A] with so much left [Bb] undone
_ _ [Am] _
Remember me to [Bb] my love, I [C] know I'll miss her
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
