Powderfinger Neil Young
Look out, Ma, th[G]ere's a white boat c[C]omin' up the river[G]
With a [C]big red beacon and a flag and a man on the ra[G]il
I think you'd be[C]tter call John
'cause it don't look like they're here to d[Bm]eliver the ma[C]il
And it's l[Bm]ess than a mile a[C]way
I[Bm] hope they didn't come to[C] stay
It's got [Bm]numbers on the side and [C]a gun
D ////'//// G //// C G
and it's makin' big waves
[G]Daddy's gone and my[C] brother's out huntin' in the m[G]ountains
[C]Big John's been drinkin' since the river took Em[G]my Lou
S[C]o the powers that be left me here to do t[Bm]he think[C]in'
And I[Bm] just tur[C]ned twenty-two
I was[Bm] wonderin'[C] what to do
And the[Bm] closer they g[C]ot
D ////'//// G //// C G
The more those feelin's grew
Jam here -->

[G]Daddy's rifle in[C] my hand felt re[G]assurin'
He told me [C]"Red means run, son, and numbers add up to n[G]othin'"
When the f[C]irst shot hit the dock I saw it co[Bm]min'[C]
[Bm]Raised my rifle t[C]o my eye
[Bm]Never stopped to [C]wonder why
Bm C D ////'//// G //// C G
Then I saw black and my face splashed in the sky
- then Jam again -->

[C] [G]
[G]Shelter me fr[C]om the powder and the finge[G]r
[C]Cover me with the thought that pulled the t[G]rigger
[C]Just think of me as one you never figured [Bm]out[C]
[Bm]We fade away so y[C]oung
[Bm]So much left und[C]one
Bm C D ////'//// G //// C G
Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her
