Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Gun Metal Eyes


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: D MajorD

                        G+G
His mama was a Cherokee princess, or so it was said
    A augmentedA                       D MajorD
And his daddy was a Seminole rebel with a price on his head
                             G+G
And the other kids teased him, but I never did see him to cry
        A augmentedA                             D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Man, there was some kind of righteous in the steel of his gun-metal eyes

CHORUS:
N.C.     G+G         A augmentedA
Run with the wolf, fly like the dove
     D MajorD      G+G
Mother below, Father above
       E minorEm         A augmentedA
Weep with the earth, sing to the sky
    C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
In the steel of your gun-metal eyes


                                  G+G
Well, he grew up in the washes and the rushes and the rain and the wind
    A augmentedA                           D MajorD
And the creatures of the forest and fields were his only real friends
                                  G+G
And the lily of the valley and the nettle of the plains taught him well
    A augmentedA                                 D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And the new moon shone on him as he wandered through the gully and the dell


CHORUS:
N.C.     G+G         A augmentedA
Run with the wolf, fly like the dove
     D MajorD      G+G
Mother below, Father above
       E minorEm         A augmentedA
Weep with the earth, sing to the sky
    C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
In the steel of your gun-metal eyes


INSTRUMENTAL: D MajorD   G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G D MajorD

                             G+G
It was one misty morning when he heard the big bulldozers groan
    A augmentedA                           D MajorD
And the chainsaws and the felling of trees and the breaking of stone
                           G+G
And the boss-man knew better, but he had an empire to raise
    A augmentedA                           D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And one lone man before him with a rifle and doom on his face


CHORUS:
N.C.     G+G         A augmentedA
Run with the wolf, fly like the dove
     D MajorD      G+G
Mother below, Father above
       E minorEm         A augmentedA
Weep with the earth, sing to the sky
    C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
In the steel of your gun-metal eyes


                                  G+G
"Get on home," cried the owner, "Cause I hold the deed to this land
  A augmentedA                          D MajorD
And I ain't got no time to be fooling with no wild Injun man."
                                G+G
And he gathered his strong boys around him and he called his police
       A augmentedA                        D MajorD G+G D MajorD
But there was no looking back for the son of a Seminole chief


CHORUS:
N.C.     G+G         A augmentedA
Run with the wolf, fly like the dove
     D MajorD      G+G
Mother below, Father above
       E minorEm         A augmentedA
Weep with the earth, sing to the sky
    C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
In the steel of your gun-metal eyes


INSTRUMENTAL: D MajorD   G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD   G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G D MajorD


                              G+G
Now some say he died in the fighting and was buried that day
  A augmentedA                          D MajorD
And some say he raged like an angel and he chased them away
                              G+G
But the green hills stand silent, and nobody goes there no more
     A augmentedA                                D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Just the ghosts and the memories and the shadows of the dark forest floor


CHORUS:
N.C.     G+G         A augmentedA
Run with the wolf, fly like the dove
     D MajorD      G+G
Mother below, Father above
       E minorEm         A augmentedA
Weep with the earth, sing to the sky
    C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
In the steel of your gun-metal eyes
    C majorC       G+G     D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD
