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? Interlude (x2): A Gbm Verse 2: A I'm takin’ nothin’ with me Gbm We've just got time to beat the sun A And the boys in gray, are never far away 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? Interlude (x2): A Gbm Verse 3: A There's smoke down by the river Gbm Hear the cannon and the drum A And even if I die, I've got to try 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?

How to play Can You Run on ukulele
Try the driving 4/4 as a starting point: d – d – d u d u. This arrangement is in A major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. For easier shapes, shift it down 2 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 2 to land back in the same key. Push brisk down-up eighths to get the bluegrass drive rolling.
