Jack's Song - Sentient Cement

/E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-Em7 (x2)  /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-

Em7                       /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-          Em7         /E-/G-/A-/B/C-/A
All the glory and all the fame must end in death, they're all the same
Am          D6/A(-04430) /E-/G-/A-/B/C-/A       Am     D6/A  /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-
Hunting deadly men down like rabid dogs from town to town
Em7                 /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E- Em7               /E-/G-/A-/B-/C-/B-
Gunman Jack was drinking away, he'd already overextended his stay
Bm                                    C2                                              D2  D24 D2
And just as he was paying, that's when the sheriff called him out in the rain

/E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-Em7
(x2)  /E-/G-/A-/B-/C-/A-Am-D6/A (x2)
/E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-Em7 (x2)  /E-/G-/A-/B-/C-/B-Bm /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-

Em7                /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-      Em7                    /E-/G-/A-/B/C-/A
Gunman Jack strode outside, he showed his gun, he had nothing to hide
Am     D6/A(-04430) /E-/G-/A-/B/C-/A      Am          D6/A  /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-
The sheriff told him to yield, the folks around cleared the killing field
Em7                               /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E- Em7                 /E-/G-/A-/B-/C-/B-
He drew quickly & shot the sheriff's head, his brains blew out he was instantly dead
Bm                                             Bb                                    C2  D5(--0235)
Another faceless man died today Jack got on his horse and he rode away-ay

       Em7         /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E- Em7                       /E-/G-/A-/B/C-/A
You never meant to do what you did, falsely accused you ran and hid
Am     D6/A(-04430) /E-/G-/A-/B/C-/A  Am D6/A    /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E-
A legend famous and feared dusty coat and a long wild beard
        Em7             /E-/G-/A-/F#-/B-/E- Em7                 /E-/G-/A-/B-/C-/B-
And now they know you in every town, young guns hunger to hunt you down
Bm                               C2                D2                 D24                D2
You try to change your ways but you know a bullet will end your days

JC: I used to babysit my nephew Jack, and I entertained him with this guitar theme.  When Sentient Cement decided to do a version of it, we asked Jack what he thought about when hearing it.  He said the jingling spurs of gunslingers.  Timmy thought up a suitable tale, and the rest is historical fiction.  This one's for you, kid.  Ride, Jack, ride.
