hear the rain coming, it's rolling around me, and I ain't seen the sunshine.
I don't know when [A] I was turning blue and gristly, at a time keeps [E] dragging on, but [B] that rain keeps rolling on down the [E] sand.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son, you'll always be a good boy, so never play with guns.
[A] I shot a man who didn't want to, so I couldn't watch him [E] die.
When [Bm] I hear the boots of war, I don't think about it, dear.

[E] I've been drinking so cheap, at fancy dining bars, to profit from drinking coffee, and smoking big cigars.
When [A] I was old, my hand was numb, I know my hands can't [E] be free.
[B] But I'll keep the people moving, unless it's war.

[B] and I can keep the guns, too.
