_ _ _ _ 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 on [E] the rail
I _ _ _ [A] think you better call John, cause it don't look like they're here [Abm] 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
_ [E] It's got numbers on the [A] side and a gun and [E] it's [B] making big waves
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ Daddy's [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] gone and my brother's out [E] hunting 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 [A] what to do
_ [E] And the closer they got, [A] the more those [E] [B] feelings grew
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Daddy's _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] rifle in my hand felt _ [E]
reassuring
_ _ _ _ He [A] said, Redman, run, numbers add up to [E]
nothing
_ _ _ _ [A] When the first shot hit the dock, I saw it [Abm]
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] _ _
Shelter _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
me [A] from the powder and [E] the finger
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Cover me with the thought that pulled [E] the trigger
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Just think of me as one you never [E] _
figured
_ [A] You _ _ [E] fade away so [A] young, _ [E] with so much left [A] undone
_ _ [E] Remember me to [A] my love, I know [B] I'll miss her
