Solid Gone
Tim Barry

Capo on the 8th fret
I'm working on a pattern for the fingerpicking, I'll post it when I'm happy.
It seems to be mostly the octave and the 5th with a little color added occasionally.


G+G
I was young when I got married, young when we had kids
G+G         C majorC
Young when mom got sick and moved in
G+G
Dads gone, to that cancer song

G+G
Before my dad died, he left me his .22
G+G             C majorC
A augmentedA winchester rifle, it was his dads to
G+G
Now its mine, my how time flies


G+G
I pay our rent by cleaning, the offices in town
G+G                C majorC
We live on a bad side, where the police don?t come round
G+G
It aint safe, but I can?t move us out


G+G
The bills they stack up, in the mailbox outside
G+G              C majorC
Mostly from hospital, from before dad died
G+G
And the rest were past due and shutoff dates

G+G              C majorC


G+G
Well the new guy on the job, talked me in on my way down
G+G              C majorC
We go half on some weight, I pay some bills we both get out
G+G
He?d front it too, what would you do


G+G
I started selling to some old friends, gave some to granny Ruth.
G+G                C majorC
She?s sick with cancer, same as dads it helps her through
G+G
I paid some bills off, was getting out
G+G
Then I hear this crashing, outside my house

G+G
These men came running at my maw maw, running at my wife
G+G                C majorC
my daughter started screaming, I feared for their life
G+G
weapon drawn, I had not known


G+G
The men who tore off my lock, and broken down my door
G+G                 C majorC
And threatened my family, were officers of the law
G+G
Darkened rooms, how could I have known
G+G
Such a terror, inside my home

G+G             C majorC


G+G
Nine years to twenty, what have I done
G+G            C majorC
Nine years to twenty, intent and a gun
G+G
To my family, what have I done
G+G
For my family, what have I done


G+G
Before my dad died, he left me his 22
G+G               C majorC
Look over your family son, do what you need to
G+G
Dad?s gone, now I?m solid gone
G+G             D MajorD   G+G
