[G]
Look out, Mama, [C] there's a white boat comin' [G] up the river
[C] With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on [G] the rails
I [C] think you'd better call John
It don't look like they're here [Bm] to deliver [C] the mail
[G] And [Bm] they're less than a [C] mile away
[Em] I [Bm] hope they didn't [C] wrong to stay
It's [Bm] got numbers on the side [C] and the gun units makin' [D] big waves
Daddy [G] [C]
[G]
is gone, [C] my brother's out [G] huntin' in the mountains
[C] Big John's been drinkin' since the river took [G] Emmylou
So [C] the powers that be left me here to do [Bm] the pagin'
[C]
[Bm] And I just turned [C] 22
[Bm] I was wonderin' what [G] to do
And the [Bm] closer they got, [Am]
[C] the speedin' [D] they slow

Daddy's rifle in [C] my hand felt [G] reassuring
He [C] told me red means run, son, numbers add up to [G] nothin'
When [C] the first shot hit, the gun fired [Bm] for me
[C]
[Bm] Raised my rifle to [C] my eye
[Bm] Never stopped to [C] wonder why
[Bm] Then I saw black [C] and my face flash in the [D] sky
