Chords for Neil Young - Powderfinger (Live Aid 1985)

_ Look out, mama, [C] there's a white boat [G] coming up the river
_ [C] With a big red bean can, a flag and a [G] man on the rig
I [C] think you'd better call John, it don't look like they're [Bm] here to deliver
[C] the mail
[Bm] And they're less than a [C] mile away
I [Bm] hope they didn't [C] come to stay
[Bm] It's got numbers on the [C] side and a thought [D] that's making me weep
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ Daddy's [C] gone, my brother's [G] out hunting in the mountains
_ _ [C] Big John's been drinking since the river [G] dug in here _
_ [C] So the flowers and pea, left me here [Bm] to do the thinking
[C] _ [Bm] And I just [C] turned 22
[B] I was wondering [C] what to do
[Bm] The closer they [C] got, the more [D] those feelings grew
_ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _

[C] _ _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ Daddy grabbed [C] hold of my hand, felt [G] reassured
He [C] told me red means run, some numbers add [G] up to nothing
When [C] the first shot hit the dug, I [Bm] saw it coming _
[C] _ [B] Raised my rifle to [C] my eye, [Bm] never stopped to [C] wonder why
[Bm] Then I saw a flash [C] and my face clashed [D] in the sky _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _

[C] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ Shelter me from the powder and [G] the finger
Cover _ [C] me with the thought that pulls [G] the trigger
Just [C] think of me as one you never knew
[Bm] _ _
[C] _ [Bm] What they ate away so [C] young, [Bm] with so much left [C] undone
[Bm] Remember me to my love, [D] I'll miss her
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
