Chords for John Gorka "The Sentinel"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm going to _ _ _ _ _ play a little bit where _ I'm from, where the songs came from.
_ _ _ This is a song from the early times, too, I [B] guess around _ _ _ _ [D] the_
[A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E]
When I got [F#m] out of school, [Cm] I guess you know, [D#] I played music _ all through college.
I was in the [N] Nebraska Jazz Espasm Band, _ _ and I was the banjo player. _ _ _ _
_ _ We never made it this far _ west.
_ _ Our tours were limited to the places that we could walk to and carry the sound system. _
_ _ I think eventually one of the people got a girlfriend, but it couldn't fit everybody
in the [D] club, so [F#] that eventually broke up.
[A] On _ graduation, [A#] I stuck around because of [A] Dr.
Daniel's [F#] Coffee House.
I got a job [N] delivering flowers because _ I was a philosophy major, so I was qualified to _ _
[F] deliver flowers.
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] I _ [B] did that for about three and a half years.
I met a character who was _ _ _ [E] _
the subject of this song.
_ _ _ [D#] He used to help people park cars in the Fountain [A] Hill section of town [A] on the south side of Bethlehem.
Not too far from Dr.
Daniel's Coffee Houses.
_ [C#] _ [D#] He used to help people park their cars, whether they wanted that help or not.
_ He was not employed by [G#] the city or anything.
He was kind of [D#] a freelance parking _ [C#] assistant. _ _
[Gm] His name was [C#] Francis, and this is called The Sentinel.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ They're clapping because the [F#] introduction's over.
[C#m] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] I'm glad about that, too. _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [D] Francis called me Joe, [A] _
but that is not [E] my name.
_ _ [A]
I told him what it really was, [C#m] but he lost it [E] just the same.
_ [A] _ _ [C#] When they [D] made the Francis plant, [A] they took too much [E] off the top.
[F#m] The Sentinel of [A] Seneca, _ the [E] _ 800 block.
_ [A] _ [D] _ He would [F#m] scare the kids, and they would [C#] run away.
_ [D] Till they [B] found he was one [D] man, though he was [E] big and gray. _ _
_ [C#] _ Already [D] 55, _ [A] he dressed as though [E] he cared.
_ _ [A]
Wore his [A] time out on the block, [C#] beneath his [E] clothes cut hair.
_ [C#] _ He [D]
always had [A] a word for anyone [E] who'd stop.
_ [F#m] The [D] Sentinel of Seneca, [A] _ [E] the _ 800 block.
_ [F#] _ _ [D] _ He'd say [C#m] a camp park there, _ [D] _ strangers [C#m] they would go.
[D] They would [B] do just what he [D] said, because [E] they didn't know. _ _
[C#] _ _ [D] Francis lived alone, [F#]
and that's the way he [E] died.
I _ _ [D] _
[A] wonder if they'll meet a [C#] God on [E] the other side.
_ [C#] _ Some people [D]
roam the world [A] to make some [E] kind of change.
_ [D] _ But parking [A] up on Seneca [C#] _ will never [E] be the same. _
_ _ [A] _ [D] They say he got [C#m]
a [D] job _ on [C#m] some other hill.
[D] _ And [B] if you don't miss [D] him, I know the [E] neighbors _ _ will.
_ [C#] _ [F#] Francis called me [E] Joe, but that is not my name.
_ [D] _
I [A] told him what it really was, but [C#] he lost it just the [E] same.
_ _ [C#] _ When they made [D] the Francis [A] plant, they took too much [E] off the top.
[F#m] _ The [D] Sentinel of [A] Seneca, _ the [E] _
800 _ block.
