 D        A    D               G                      Bm 
Elizabeth that thundercloud is creeping up the Empire Hill 
        Em              F#m G 
There's shadows on the over-pass 
    Em                 F#m  G 
And puddles in the old dirt path 
  D    A   D                   G                Bm 
Peoria lay silent still in the belly of the overgrown 
    Em            F#m G 
All quiet on the open plain 
    Em                F#m G 
Footprints to the family  plot 
      A             D        G      A          F#m    G     
Where evermore will restless sorrow sleep in a broken heap 

(F# G A) 

G                G 
Cemetery guns go bang, bang, bang 
D                            G 
Shooting all the sky full of holes 
D          F#m        G 
Twenty-one times in a row 
        Bm                    G 
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat 
       A                  D    A     G      
On the green grass down below 

  D  A   G   D  A   G   D  Dsus4   A   

 D        A   D                G                            Bm  
Elizabeth our fathers came and settled where the ground was flat 
     Em               F#m  G 
Drew water from the Indian wells 
    Em                 F#m  G 
Cut timber from the rolling fells 
    D       A    D                   G                  Bm 
Grandaddy-o bled hearth and home for oiling the comp'ny gears 
   Em             F#m  G 
No rest for the errant ones 
   Em                F#m  G 
Godspeed their a-reckless sons 
    A             D         G        A            F#m     G      
Who evermore play their forefathers' hands on the foreign sands 

(F# G A) 

G                G

D                            G 
Shooting all the sky full of holes 
D          F#m        G 
Twenty-one times in a row 
        Bm                    G 
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat 
       A                  Bm     
On the green grass down below 

Em               G           A 
Cemetery guns go bang, bang, bang 
D                            G 
Shooting all the sky full of holes 
D          F#m        G 
Twenty-one times in a row 
        Bm                    G 
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat

On the green grass down below
