_ _ _ _ _ _ My shadow follows me [G] wherever _ I [Em] should chance to _ go. _
_ _ [G] _ [D] John the gun [Em] did _ say, _ _ _ [E] and if you should chance to meet me,
[G] as I wander to and [E] fro, _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] sad [D] would [E] be your day.
My _ _ _ life is mine, for the guns they [G] shine to take what [Em] goes before _ me.
_ _ _ [G] Never [D] shall I [E] fall. _ _ _ _ _ _
Ideals of peace are gold [G] which fools have found [Bm] upon the plains of war.
_ [Em] _ _ _ [G] I shall [D]
destroy [E] them all.

_ [A] When _ [Dm] your guns are steeled [C] and comes to soon [Dm] fall, _
[Bb] your master [C] he may [F] need you soon, _ [Eb] _ _ _ and you must heed [Bb] his call. _ _ _ _

[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] I am the master of the games [G] that you will hardly [A] ever [Em] play.
_ _ [G] _ So I [D] will teach [E] your _ sons, _
_ [G] _ [E] and if they should die before the [G] evening of their [A] span of _ [Em] days,
_ _ _ [G] why then [D] they [E] will die young. _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ When [D] your guns are [C] steeled and comes to soon [Dm] fall,
_ _ [Bb] your master he [F] may need you _ [Eb] soon, _ _ and you must heed [Bb] his call. _ _
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ [E] I am condemned, for [G] always will I play the game [A] of [Em] war,
_ _ _ _ _ [G] in _ [D] moonshine [E] or in sun,
[A] _
_ _ [E] and if any cross the path I use [G] to tread, their chances [Bm] _ [Em] they [D] are [Em] poor.
_ [G] My [D] name is [E] John the gun. _ _ _
