Intro -x2-: A Gbm

Verse 1:
         A
There's smoke down by the river
                        Gbm
Hear the cannon and the drum
      A
I've got one thing to ask you honey
      Gbm
Can you run?
     A
You know I hate to ask so late
                         Gbm
But the moment's finally come
           A
And there won't be time to change your mind
       Gbm
Can you run?

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

And the boys in gray, are never far away
