John Gorka – The Sentinel (Guitar)

        C             G
Francis called me Joe

                   D     C
But that is not my name

                   G
I told him what it really was

       Bm               D      Bm
But he lost it just the same

                     C
When they made the Francis plan

      G                    D     Em
They took too much off the top

                C      G
The sentinel of Seneca

                  D       C
The eight-hundred block

           Bm            C
He would scare the kids

               Bm   C
And they would run away

                       Am7         C
'Til they found he was one of them

                      D      Bm
Though he was big and grey

              C
Already fifty-five

   G                    D       C
He dressed as though he cared

                     G
He wore his time out on the block

  Bm                  D     Bm
Beneath his close cut hair

           C          G
He always had a word

               D        Em
For anyone who stopped

                C        G
The sentinel of Seneca

                  D         C
The eight-hundred block

                          Bm      C
He'd say, "You can't park there"

                         Bm  C
And strangers they would go

                       Am7          C
They would do just what he said

                    D       Bm
Because they didn't know

        C            G
Francis lived alone

                      D      C
And that's the way he died

         G                       Bm
I wonder if they'll need a guard

             D      Bm
On the other side

            C              G
Some people roam the world

                     D        Em
To make some kind of change

                  C       G
The parking up on Seneca

                  D         C
Will never be the same

              Bm   C
They say he got a job

              Bm   C
On some other hill

                 Am7         C
And if you don't miss him

                      D      Bm
I know the neighbours will

        C             G
Francis called me Joe

                   D     C
But that is not my name

                   G
I told him what it really was

       Bm               D      Bm
But he lost it just the same

                     C
When they made the Francis plan

      G                    D     Em
They took too much off the top

                C      G
The sentinel of Seneca
