Gordon Lightfoot – Protocol (Guitar)

                                           C
Who are these ones who would lead us now

                                  F
To the sound of a thousand guns

                                      E7
We'd storm the gates of hell itself

                               Am
To the tune of a single drum

                                                C
Where are the girls of the neighbourhood bars

                                F
Whose love's were lost at sea

                                            E7
In the hills of France and on German soil

                              Dm
From Saigon to Wounded Knee

                            G          C
Who come from long lines of soldiers

                  F
Whose duty was fulfilled

       Dm                   G
In the words of a warriors will

    Am
And protocol

                                            C
Where are the boys in their coats of blue

                                      F
Who flew when their eyes were blind

       E7                                 Am
Was he there when the deals were signed

                                           C
Who are the kings in their coats of mail

                               F
Who rode by the cross to die

                                       E7
Did they all go down into worthiness

                                Dm
Is it wrong for a king to cry

                                         G
And who are these ones who would have us now

      C              F
Whose presence in concealed

      Dm          G
Whose nature is revealed

     Am
In a time bomb

                                    C
And last of all, you old sea dogs

                         F
Who travel after whale

        E7                         Dm
For the taste of a mermaids tail

                            G          C
Who come from long lines of skippers

                  F        Dm
Whose duty was fulfilled

                            G
In the words of a warrior's will

    Am
And protocol
