Fm G Your mother died night you were born G Fm F Her name you never knew F Fm G C Look away, look away nothing to lose Fm G Left East Tennessee at fourteen Fm F Wandered to the West F Fm G C Look away,look away born into death G C Fm You fought the sailors in New Orleans G C Fm You worked the flatboats and walked the streets G C Fm Hit Nacogdoches in 49 G C Fm And there you saw the devil the very first time
C F Kid don’t you know me? C F We are the last of the true F G C Drink up! Drink up! F G C Drink up! Drink up! Fm C G Fm Cause tonight your souls required of you Fm G Signed on with a stone mad captain Fm F Rode on Mexico Fm G C Look away, look away war behold Fm G Jailed with killers one and all Fm F But we were killers free Fm G C Look away, look away, look to me G C Fm You saw the lancers mid heathen hordes G C Fm Bloodstained veils and costumes of war G C Fm Hell ain’t half full boy hear me G C Fm War is the game and the god we seek Fm G We set out as men of reason Fm F Armed with Navy Colts Fm G C Look away,look away, work paid in gold Fm G But you stood witness to yourself Fm F Our trial you did betray Fm G C Look away,look away to judgment day G C Fm We killed in the desert we killed in the streets G C Fm We chose what shall and shall not be G C Fm We stood with pistols, fought back to back G C Fm Now youve stood your ground but what ground is that? C F Kid don’t you know me? C F We are the last of the true F G C Drink up! Drink up! F G C Drink up! Drink up! Fm C G Fm Cause tonight your souls required of you
