_ _ Look out, mama, [A] there's a white boat coming up the [E] river _ _
_ _ With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on [E] the rail _ _
_ _ I [A] think you better call John, cause it don't look like they're here to [Abm] deliver _ the mail
_ [E] And it's less than a mile [A] away, _ I [Eb] hope they didn't come to stay
_ [E] It's got numbers on the side and [A] a gun and it's making [B] big _ waves
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Daddy's gone [A] and my brother's out hunting [E] in the mountains _
Big _ _ _ [A] John's been drinking since the river took Amelie
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ So [A] the powers that be left me here to do [E] the thinking
And [A] _ _ [E] I just turned [A] 22, _ I [E] was wondering what [A] to do
_ [E] And the closer they got, [A] the more 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 _ [Eb] my rifle to [A] my eye, _ [E] never stopped to wonder [A] why
_ [E] Then I saw black [A] and my face 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] _ _ _ _
