Capo III () (Please note this is not the original arrangement; I rearranged it to suit the limited skills of a camp fire player like myself) My shadow follows me wherever I should chance to go John the Gun did say If you should chance to meet me, as I wander to and fro Sad will be your day My life is mine and the light did shine, till the guns shot right through me So now I shall never fall Ideals of peace are gold which fools have found upon the plains of war I shall destroy them all Put away your guns of steel Death comes too soon for all Your master he will need you soon And you will heed his call I am the master of the game That you will hardly ever play So I will teach your sons And if they should die Before the evening of their span of days Why, then they will die young (Chorus) Condemn me not For always have I played the game of war In moonshine or in sun And if any cross the path I choose to tread Their chances they are poor For I am John the Gun (Chorus)
