Pick up mama, [C] there's a white boat coming down [G] the river _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on [G] the rail _ _ _ _ _ _
I think [C] you better call John, cause it don't look like they're here to [Bm] deliver _ [C] the mail
_ _ [F#m] And it's less than a [A#] mile [C] away, _ _ _ [F#m] I hope they didn't come [C] to stay
_ _ It's [F#m] got numbers on the [C] side and a gun, and it's making [D]
big waves _ _ _ _ _

_ Daddy's gone, [C] my brother's out [G] hunting in the mountains
But _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ John's been drinking since the river took [G] _
Emmalue
_ [C] So [G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] the powers that be left me here to do all [Bm] the thinking _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F#m] And I just turned twenty [G] [Em]-two, _ _ _ [F#m] I was wondering what [C] to do
The _ [F#m] closer they came, [C] the more those [D] feelings grew _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ Daddy's rifle in [C] my arms felt _ [G] reassuring _ _ _ _
_ _ He told [C] me red means a wrong song, _ numbers add up [G] to nothing
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _
But [C] when that first shot hit the door, _ [A] I saw [Bm] it coming _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ Raise [F#m] a rifle to [C] my eye, _ _ [F#m] never stopped, I [C] wonder why
_ _ [F#m] Then I saw black in [Em] my face flashed [G] in [D] the sky _ _ _ _ _ _

Shelter me from [C] the powder in [G] the finger _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Cover me in the thought [G] that pulled the trigger
Just _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] think of me as one you [Bm] never figured _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] To fade away so [C] young, _ _ [F#m] with so much left [C] undone _
_ _ _ [F#m] Remember me to [C] my love, I know I'll [D] miss her
