John Bull Tin

**G (strum the chord once slowly) 
            G                 D                  C         G 
He said his pride and joy was that ol' John Bull Tin.... 
G                           D 
He said it saved him from a bullet once 
    C            G 
But I did not believe 
G                                              D 
He's just an old man in the park half drunk on rum 
      G              D         C                    G 
As he rolled another smoke and closed the John Bull Tin 
G                                 D  G 
He said, "I've carried that since 1941." 
***Chorus: 
G          C 
Rubbed and worn a shiny silver 
     G 
Blue letters chipped away 
G                                D 
His memories and tabacco fit within 
       G             G7            C                G 
He had one religious medal that he carried near his heart 
G                         D                  G 
But his pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin  
G                         D 
He said. "It used to be a tire patch kit 
    C             G 
But that was long ago 
G                                D 
It's memories and tabacco now my friend 
        G                       D 
Ya know some folks need a magic lamp 
   C                G 
To conjure up their dreams 
G                 D                    G 
But mine are kept inside the John Bull Tin." 
***Chorus*** 
Solo's strumed through one verse 
 
G                D 
I found it lyin' in the grass 
     C                    G  
In a park near Shepherd's Bush 
G                        D 
I never saw that old man again 
  G                 D 
I guess he rolled a final smoke 
    C             G 
And went to his reward 
G                      D                     G 
Why else would he have dropped the John Bull Tin? 
***Chorus 
G                     D                  C    D  G 
His pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
