[Verse 1]
Dm Dm/C
I was born in
Dm Dm/C
The early mornin'
Dm Dm/C Dm
In the winter time, you see
Dm
With my mother
F
And my brother
C Dm Dm/C
In the middle of the last stampede
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm/C
And of my father
Dm Dm/C
He made his dollar
Dm Dm/C Dm
With a heavy hammer worn
Dm
In a canyon
F
Where they found him
C Dm Dm/C
Just the day before I was born
[Verse 3]
Dm Dm/C
And as a child
Dm Dm/C
My mother smiled
Dm Dm/C Dm
Saying, "Baby now, don't forget
Dm
Through all sorrow
F
God will follow
C Dm Dm/C
But you ain't seen nothin' yet"
[Verse 4]
Dm Dm/C
As the time flew
Dm Dm/C
And I too grew
Dm Dm/C Dm
Oh my mother passed away
Dm
While my brother
F
Took his cover
C Dm Dm/C
With a gun on a foreign bay
[Verse 5]
Dm Dm/C
And I was lonesome
Dm Dm/C
Oh so lonesome
Dm Dm/C Dm
I was hungry and on my own
Dm
No one near me
F
To defend me
C Dm Dm/C
I was a poor soul and out left to roam
[Verse 6]
Dm Dm/C
So I took off walking
Dm Dm/C
My bare feet stomping
Dm Dm/C Dm
Through my little country town
Dm
Inside the wind-blown
F
Dust and dog bones
C Dm Dm/C
There was nothing to be found
[Verse 7]
Dm Dm/C
The buildings ravaged
Dm Dm/C
Been turned to savage
Dm Dm/C Dm
And the scene, it scarred my heart
Dm
Some were crying
F
Some were dying
C Dm Dm/C
But you couldn't tell the two apart
[Verse 8]
Dm Dm/C
And by December
Dm Dm/C
The hateful winter
Dm Dm/C Dm
Brought a chilling awful breeze
Dm
And a preacher
F
A traveling teacher
C Dm Dm/C
Who said the ships had stole the seas
[Verse 9]
Dm Dm/C
He said "Seek out shelter
Dm Dm/C
"Let in the Savior"
Dm Dm/C Dm
He said to get on my knees and pray
Dm
"The fire is blazing
F
"And its shift is changing
C Dm Dm/C
"And it's headed out this way"
[Verse 10]
Dm Dm/C
And down the highway
Dm Dm/C
Through my doorway
Dm Dm/C Dm
I could see a lantern's light
Dm
Another traveler
F
Some rugged rambler
C Dm Dm/C
Who said we'll meet with God tonight
[Verse 11]
Dm Dm/C
And in the yonder
Dm Dm/C
A sound like thunder
Dm Dm/C Dm
I saw that fire fall and twirl
Dm
Planes were crashing
F
Bombs were flashing
C Dm Dm/C
And it lit up the almighty world
[Verse 12]
Dm Dm/C
And the pigs were squealing
Dm Dm/C
With the horses fleeing
Dm Dm/C Dm
While that battle blew its breath
Dm
And at my window
F
With my candle
C Dm Dm/C
I awaited for my death
