My Fathers Gun Chords

F#m7 From this day on, I own my father's gun. G I dug his shallow grave beneath the sun. G I lay his broken body down beneath the southern land. A7 It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands. F#m7 I'll take my horse and I'll ride the northern plain. G To wear the color of the greys and join the fight again. G I'll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won. C From this day on, until I die, I'll wear my father's gun. G I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight. G To New Orleans, well, that's just fine, alright. Am Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men, C/D So slip us a rope and sail on around the bend.

F#m7 As soon as this is over, we'll go home. G To plant the seeds of justice in our bones. G To watch the children growing, and see the women sewing. D There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring. G I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight. G To New Orleans, well, that's just fine, alright. Am Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men, C/D
