Текст песни Elton John - My Fathers Gun

MY FATHER'S GUN

   Year : 1971
  Album : Tumbleweed Connection
Writers : Elton John & Bernie Taupin

Here's my version of "My Fathers Gun" By Elton John. Its much easier to play on acoustic 
without all the flats and sharps. There may be a few chord changes missing, but overall 
sounds good. (Not in same key as album).

Standard Tuning

From this day on I own my father's gun.
C#/C#m                 		
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun.

                        C#/C#m           	
I laid his broken body down  -  below the southern line.
                C#/C#m                          
It wouldn't do to bury him  -  where any Yankee stands.

I'll take my horse and I'll ride the northern plain.
C#/C#m                 		
To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again.
                        C#/C#m           	
I'll not rest until I know  -  the cause is fought and won.
                C#/C#m                          
From this day on, until I die,    I'll wear my father's gun.

                          C#/C#m        		
I'd like to know where the riverboat sails  to - night.
                          C#/C#m        		
To New Orleans well that's just fine   al - right.
'Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men.
So slip us a rope and sail on round the  bend.

As soon as this is over we'll go home.
C#/C#m                 		
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones.
                        C#/C#m           	
To watch the children growing  -  and see the women sewing.
                C#/C#m                          
There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring.

{Repeat Chorus, Fade}
