Runrig – The Everlasting Gun (Guitar)

   G        C          G
So here you go, you're on your own

    C                D
The flower blooms so freely

    G        C       G
For fortune, musket, fife and drum

     C                 D
Your faking days won't leave you

       C         Am      D
'Cause young man now you nurse the gun

       C       Am     D
You're nervous in the morning

       G         Am         G    C
'Neath shattered skies your body lies

       Am           C  D    G  D  C  D
On the dark side of reason

    G        C       G
The blood is lusting in your heart

     C                 D
Your flesh red hot and lonely

    G         C         G
And vengeance gulps the bitter cup

     C                 D
That once held wine so sweetly

    C          Am      D
But young man, legends still unfold

    C   Am        D
For regiment, for glory

    G          Am         G           C
You search for gold, like you've been told

        Am                 C     D    
And the light of day won't leave you

    G
But run

       C     D        G
You'll never turn and run

    C   D       G
The everlasting gun

     C        D      G
Your day will surely come

       C      D  
You'll never run 

    G      C          G
For fickle kings, you click the heels

        C                   D
Where a bleak moon leans so weary

   G      C        G
Forgotten names on faceless graves

     C              D     G
Your father's home awaits you

C       Am         D
Oh, the warrior is not the fool

    C   Am     D
The refugee of freedom

        G        Am      G        C
But the outlawed man who holds no gun

       Am           C  D
On the dark side of reason

    G
But run

       C     D        G
You'll never turn and run

    C   D       G
The everlasting gun

     C        D      G
Your day will surely come

       C      D  
You'll never run 

    G
But run

       C     D        G
You'll never turn and run

    C   D       G
The everlasting gun

     C        D      G
Your day will surely come

       C       D  
You'll never run
