[Verse 1]
G
Look out, Mama,
C G
there's a white boat coming up the river
C
With a big red beacon, and a flag,
and a man on the rail
G C
I think you'd better call John
Bm C
Because it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
[Chorus]
Bm
And it's less than a mile away
C Bm C
I hope they didn't come to stay
Bm C
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
D
And it's making big waves
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
G
Daddy's gone,
C G
my brother's out hunting in the mountains
C G
Big John's been drinking since the river took EmmyLou
C Bm
So the Powers That Be left me here to do the thinkin'
[Chorus]
C Bm C
And I just turned twentytwo
Bm C
I was wondering what to do
Bm
And the closer they got
C D
The more those feelings grew

[Verse 3]
G C G
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
C
He told me, Red means run, son,
G
numbers add up to nothing
C Bm
But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it coming
[Chorus]
C Bm C
Raised my rifle to my eye
Bm C
Never stopped to wonder why
Bm
Then I saw black
C D
And my face splashed in the sky

[Verse 4]
G C G
Shelter me from the powder and the finger
C G
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
C Bm
Think of me as one you'd never figured
[Chorus]
C Bm C
Would fade away so young
Bm C
With so much left undone
Bm C
Remember me to my love
D
I know I'll miss her
[Outro]
