Can You Run

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

        Bm         Em
Can you run, to the freedom line
     C       Am    D
of a Lincoln soldier?
            Bm      Em
Where contraband can be a man
       C             Am     D
With a musket on his shoulder
     Em              G               C
I've got to stand up tall before I'm done
 Em                G             C
Wrap these hands of mine around a gun
    Em                 G               C
And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue
        Em    C
Can you r——un?
        Em    C
Can you r—-un?
G, Em x2

    G
I'm takin’ nothin’ with me
                                Em
We've just got time to beat the sun
         G
And the boys in gray, are never far away
       Em
Can you run?

        Bm         Em
Can you run, to the freedom line
     C       Am    D
of a Lincoln soldier?
            Bm      Em
Where contraband can be a man
       C             Am     D
With a musket on his shoulder
     Em              G               C
I've got to stand up tall before I'm done
 Em                G             C
Wrap these hands of mine around a gun
    Em                 G               C
And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue
        Em    C
Can you r——un?
        Em    C
Can you r—-un?
G, Em x2

         G
There's smoke down by the river
                        Em
Hear the cannon and the drum
    G
And even if I die, I've got to try
       Em
Can you run?

        Bm         Em
Can you run, to the freedom line
     C       Am    D

Can you r—-un?
