INTRO: G  C  G  C  Am  D 

   G        C          G
So here you go, you're on your own
    C                D
The flower blooms so freely
    G        C       G
For fortune, musket, fife and drum
     C                 D
Your faking days won't leave you


       C         Am      D
'Cause young man now you nurse the gun
       C       Am     D
You're nervous in the morning
       G         Am         G    C
'Neath shattered skies your body lies
       Am           C  D    G  D  C  D
On the dark side of reason


    G        C       G
The blood is lusting in your heart
     C                 D
Your flesh red hot and lonely
    G         C         G
And vengeance gulps the bitter cup
     C                 D
That once held wine so sweetly


    C          Am      D
But young man, legends still unfold
    C   Am        D
For regiment, for glory
    G          Am         G           C
You search for gold, like you've been told
        Am                 C     D    
And the light of day won't leave you


CHORUS:
    G
But run
       C     D        G
You'll never turn and run
    C   D       G
The everlasting gun
     C        D      G
Your day will surely come
       C      D  
You'll never run 


INTERLUDE: G  C  Am  D  G  C  Am  D


    G      C          G
For fickle kings, you click the heels
        C                   D
Where a bleak moon leans so weary
   G      C        G
Forgotten names on faceless graves
     C              D     G
Your father's home awaits you


C       Am         D
Oh, the warrior is not the fool
    C   Am     D
The refugee of freedom
        G        Am      G        C
But the outlawed man who holds no gun
       Am           C  D
On the dark side of reason


CHORUS:
    G
But run
       C     D        G
You'll never turn and run
    C   D       G
The everlasting gun
     C        D      G
Your day will surely come
       C      D  
You'll never run 


CHORUS:
    G
But run
       C     D        G
You'll never turn and run
    C   D       G
The everlasting gun
     C        D      G
Your day will surely come
       C       D  
You'll never run
