Chords for Neil Young - Powderfinger (acoustic)

_ _ _ _ _ Look out, mama, [A] there's a white boat coming [E] up the river
_ _ With _ [A] a big red beacon and a flag and a man [E] on the rail
_ I _ _ [A] think you better call John, cause it don't look like they're [Abm] here to deliver [A] the mail
_ [E] And it's less than a mile [A] away, _ [E] I hope they didn't come [A] to stay
It's [E] got numbers on the side [A] and a gun and it's [E] making [B] big _ waves
_ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] Daddy's _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ gone [A] and my brother's out hunting [E] in the mountains
_ _ Big _ [A]
John's been drinking since the river took [E] Amelie
_ _ So _ _ [A] the powers that be left me here to do [E] the thinking
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] And I just turned [A] 22, _ _ [E] I was wondering what [A] to do
_ [E] And the closer they got, [A] the more [E] those [B]
feelings grew
_ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] Daddy's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ rifle [A] in my hand felt [E] _
reassuring
_ _ _ He [A] said, _ Redman, run, numbers add up to [E] nothing
_ _ When _ [A]
the first shot hit the dock, I [Abm] saw it coming
_ [A] _ Raised _ [E]
my rifle to [A] my eye, [E] never stopped to wonder [A] why
_ [E] Then I saw black [A] and my face [E] flash [B] in the _ sky
_ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Shelter me [A] from the powder and [E] the finger
_ Cover _ _ [A] _
_ me with the thought that [E] pulled the trigger
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Just think of me as one you never [E] _
figured
_ [A] You _ _ [E]
fade away [A] so young, _ [E] there's so much left [A] undone
_ _ [E]
Remember me to [A] my love, I know [B] I'll miss her
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
