A Different Kind Of Song
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D Bm
Open sale from Antrum as the famine came to town
A G D
To a promise of a freedom in the south
D G
But not for him the gold fields or the riches deeper down
A G D
Just a plot of land and food for every mouth
[Verse 2]
D Bm
Memories of martyrs in the land he’d left behind
A G D
Tales of cruelty passed on down the line
D G
O’Quinn sired a clan who’d always struggled hard to find
A G D
Peace within the law and peace of mind
[Chorus]
F G D
They had you in their sights all along
F G A D
There never was a chance to sing a different song
D G D G
One step forward, two behind and always in the gun
F D
There never was a place for you to run
[Verse 3]
D Bm
Born beneath Mount Disappointment's dark prophetic peak
A G D
Just two months since Eureka came and went
D G
Young Edward learned his script in life like learning hide and seek
A G D
And played it out with passion to the end
[Chorus]
F G D
They had you in their sights all along
F G A D
There never was a chance to sing a different song
D G D G
One step forward, two behind and always in the gun
F D
There never was a place for you to run
[Verse 4]
D Bm
Fifteen years of courtship with the fringes of the law
F G D
No friends he chose unwisely on the way
D G
And a family he never had a chance to choose at all
A G D
By then he knew the part he had to play
[Chorus]
F G D
They had you in their sights all along
F G A D
There never was a chance to sing a different song
D G D G
One step forward, two behind and always in the gun
F D
There never was a place for you to run
