[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] Look [Em] out, Mama, [C] there's a white boat [G] comin' up the river
_ With _ _ _ [C]
a big red beacon and a flag and a [G] man on the red
_ _ I _ [C] think you better call John, you don't look like the hero [Bm] to deliver _ [C] the mail _
[Bm] And it's less than a [C] mile away _ _
[Bm] I hope they didn't [Em] come [C] to stay _
[B] He's got numbers on the [Em] side and [C] a gun, he's makin' [D] me _ wait _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Daddy's _ _ gone, [C] my brother's out huntin' in [G] the _ mountains _
_ _ [C] Big John's been drinkin' since the river took [G] him _ in _ _
_ So [C] the powers that be left me here to [G] do [Bm] the thinkin'
_ _ [C] _
_ _ [Bm] And I just turned [C] 22, _ _ [Bm] I was wonderin' [C] what to do
_ _ [Bm] The closer they got, [C]
the more those [D] feelings grew _ _

_ _ _ _ _ Daddy's rifle [C] in my hand felt [G] reassured _
He _ _ [C] told me red means bronson
_ [G] When _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] the first shot hit the dock, I [Eb] saw [Bm] it comin' _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Em] [Bm] Raised my rifle to [C] my eye, _ [Bm] never stopped to [C] wonder why
_ _ [Bm] Then I saw black and [C] my face flash in [D] the sky _

_ _ _ _ Shelter me from [C] the powder in the [G] fingers _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Cover me with the thought that pulls the [G] trigger _ _
Just _ _ _ [C] think of me as one you [G] never [Bm] figured _ _
[C] _ _ It's [Bm] gonna fade away [C] so young, _ [B] there's so much left [C] undone
_ _ [B] _ Remember me to [C] my love, _ [D] Mr. _ _
