[C] One, two, [Dm] three.
[Dm] Follow him James in the Tahoma
Stick around to tell us all [A] the tale
[Dm] Really fell in [D] love with a gun street girl
Now he's dancing in the Birmingham jail
Dancing in the Birmingham jail
[C] [Dm] Took a hundred dollars off a slaughterhouse joke.
Bought a brand new Michigan [A] 20 gauge
[G] Got [D] all wrecked up on that roadhouse corn
Glued a holy note of yellow covid
A holy [Dm] note of yellow covid
He bought a second hand Nova from a Cuban Chinese
And died his head in the bathroom [Am] of a Texaco
[Dm] With a pawn shop pretty old quarter past [Am] four
[D] Left Walt Keegan at the [C] slamming of the [Dm] door
Left Walt Keegan at the slamming [C] of the door
[Dm] Says John, John, he's long gone
Gone to Indiana, he's never coming home
But says [C] John, John, [Dm] he's long gone
Gone to Indiana, he's never coming home
They're sitting in a sick and maudit [D] St.
Johnswood
Soaking their old bread in [A] kerosene
[Dm] But he was blue as a robin, thick [D] and brown as a hawk
[C] [Dm] Sitting out of circulation till the dogs get tired
Out of [A] circulation [Dm] till the dogs get tired
Shatter fixed a toilet with an [Am] old [D] trombone
He'd never get up in the [A] morning on a Saturday
Sitting [Dm] by the Erie with a bull kept dog
Telling everyone it's all he went that-a-way
Telling [Am] everyone it's all [Dm] he went that-a-way
Out of rain like gravel on an old tin roof
Burlington Northern pulling out [A] of the world
Now [Dm] a head full of bourbon and a dream in the straw
And [D] a Gun Street girl was [Dm] the cause of them
Gun Street [Fm] girl was the cause of [D] them
That's riding in the shadow by the sea
And the click-clack tapping [A] over blind man's cane
[D] He was pulling in the baker on a New Year's Eve
One eye on a pistol and the other on the door
One eye on a pistol and the other on the door
Miss Charlotte took the [Dm] satchel down to Kingfisher Road
Snuggled in a brand [A] new pair of alligator shoes
[Dm] Wearing a fine man's ring coated in a long yellow hair
Wearing a tatter to the tree with a skinny millionaire
Tatter to the tree [D] with a skinny millionaire
I said John, [Dm] John, he's long gone
Gone to Indiana, he never won no more
I said John, John, he's [Dm] long gone
Gone to Indiana, he never
Banging on the table with an old tin cup
Saying I'll never kiss a Gun Street girl again
I'll never kiss a Gun Street girl again
I'll never kiss a Gun Street girl [D] again
I said John, [E] John, he's [Dm] long gone
Gone to Indiana, he never coming home
I said John, John, he's long gone
Gone to Indiana, he never coming home
[Dm] Follow him James in the Tahoma
Stick around to tell us all [A] the tale
