DADGBm
Elizabeth that thundercloud is creeping up the Empire Hill
EmF#mG
There's shadows on the over-pass
EmF#mG
And puddles in the old dirt path
DADGBm
Peoria lay silent still in the belly of the overgrown
EmF#mG
All quiet on the open plain
EmF#mG
Footprints to the family plot
ADGAF#mG
Where evermore will restless sorrow sleep in a broken heap
(GA)
GG
Cemetery guns go bang, bang, bang
DG
Shooting all the sky full of holes
DF#mG
Twenty-one times in a row
BmG
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat
A | D A | G |
On the green grass down below
| D A | G | D A | G | D Dsus | A |
DADGBm
Elizabeth our fathers came and settled where the ground was flat
EmF#mG
Drew water from the Indian wells
EmF#mG
Cut timber from the rolling fells
DADGBm
Grandaddy-o bled hearth and home for oiling the comp'ny gears
EmF#mG
No rest for the errant ones
EmF#mG
Godspeed their a-reckless sons
ADGAF#mG
Who evermore play their forefathers' hands on the foreign sands
(GA)
GG
Cemetery guns go bang, bang, bang
DG
Shooting all the sky full of holes
DF#mG
Twenty-one times in a row
BmG
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat
ABm
On the green grass down below
EmGA
Cemetery guns go bang, bang, bang
DG
Shooting all the sky full of holes

Twenty-one times in a row

For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat

F#m in the verse is essentially a walk up from the Em chord to the G chord. It can
be played as a full chord, or as a bass note.
