Can You Run

Capo 2 

Intro: G, Em (x2) 

Verse: 
         G 
There's smoke down by the river 
                        Em 
Hear the cannon and the drum 
      G 
I've got one thing to ask you honey 
   Em 
Can you run? 
     G 
You know I hate to ask so late 
                    Em  
But the moment's finally come 
           G  
And there won't be time to change your mind 
  Em 
Can you run? 


[Refrão]
 
        Bm         Em 
Can you run, to the freedom line 
     C       Am    D 
of a Lincoln soldier? 
            Bm      Em 
Where contraband can be a man 
       C             Am     D 
With a musket on his shoulder 
     Em              G               C  
I've got to stand up tall before I'm done 
 Em                G             C 
Wrap these hands of mine around a gun 
    Em                 G               C  
And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue 
        G    C  
Can you r——un? 
        G    C  
Can you r—-un? 

       G, Em x2

    G 
I'm takin’ nothin’ with me 
                Em 
We've just got time to beat the sun

And the boys in gray, are never far away 
   Em 
Can you run?
