[E] Come on, don't wait on me, Shannon.
[A]
So we're [A] going to take my [B] missions high and low
[E] And the shanty town people feel they're all alone
[Em] For that bird that sings, I [E] know you know
[A] And that's more [E] from the book [A] I stole
[E] In the shanty there's no man or man
Well, I'm going to thank my devil dude for free
I'm the same old [Em] drunkard in [B] your childhood
[E] That's the way you think you're talking, say my name
Don't you know I'm in the shanty, sir
[D] The old man's got a gun
And when he gets [E] drinking
He'll shoot it just for fun
But [A] don't cry, dear
I was [D] the old man's only friend
The old man in [E] the shanty
How I still remember him
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] [D]
[A]
[B] Some morning I was sneaking out of my window
He'd be waiting in the shanty by the [B] door
[E] But the little lady [A] makes a homemade [E] bread and butter
[A] And he'd make a [E] man out of the bird's tongue
[A] And he told me how he came [D] up out of the nether
And [A] how he slapped me, and how I died [E] off the day
[E] And the only thing in her table [D] was a body
And [E] every shanty had a [A] body
Don't you know I'm in the shanty, [E] sir
The old man's got a gun
And when he [A] gets drinking
He'll shoot it just for fun
But don't cry, dear
I [E] was the old man's only friend
The old man in the [F#] shanty
How I still [A] remember him
[E]
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] Every day was the last time that [E] I saw him
When [A] I'd get up and step up all by [E] myself
[A] With a diamond grab he looked up [E] towards the ceiling
He said, you're gonna give me for all that I've done
[A]
When I banged him in the face [D] and he showed me
[D] I [A] sang a song and said, where [E] is my gun?
