THE NEW AMSTERDAMS: MY OLD MAN HAD A PISTOL


C  Em  Am  F
My old man had a pistol
Never carried a round
Never taught me to use it, yeah
C  Em  F
No butt on the ground

Images of a family
Somewhere deep in the South
Wish that girl'd taken pictures, yeah
C  Em  F
Dragged me out


Em  C
Stand inside
Knees fall to the ground
Em  F  G  Am
I pray take me far away
Em  F
From everything that I am


C  Em  Am  F
Must've lost all my memories
Must've blacked 'em all out
Thank God for the pictures, yeah
C  Em  F
Didn't burn in the house


Em  C
Stand inside
Em  C
Knees fall to the ground
Em  F  G  Am
I pray take me far away
Em  F  C
From everything that I am
F  G  Am  C 
I pray take me far away
F  G  C  
From everything that I am
