[Intro]
G, Em x2
[Verse 1]
G
There's smoke down by the river
Em
Hear the cannon and the drum
G
I've got one thing to ask you honey
Em
Can you run?
G
You know I hate to ask so late
Em
But the moment's finally come
G
And there won't be time to change your mind
Em
Can you run?
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Can you run, to the freedom line
C Am D
of a Lincoln soldier?
Bm Em
Where contraband can be a man
C Am D
With a musket on his shoulder
Em G C
I've got to stand up tall before I'm done
Em G C
Wrap these hands of mine around a gun
Em G C
And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue
Em C
Can you r——un?
Em C
Can you r—-un?
G, Em x2
[Verse 2]
G
I'm takin’ nothin’ with me
Em
We've just got time to beat the sun
G
And the boys in gray, are never far away
Em
Can you run?
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Can you run, to the freedom line
C Am D
of a Lincoln soldier?
Bm Em
Where contraband can be a man
C Am D
With a musket on his shoulder
Em G C
I've got to stand up tall before I'm done
Em G C
Wrap these hands of mine around a gun
Em G C
And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue
Em C
Can you r——un?
Em C
Can you r—-un?
G, Em x2
[Verse 3]
G
There's smoke down by the river
Em
Hear the cannon and the drum
G
And even if I die, I've got to try
Em
Can you run?
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Can you run, to the freedom line
C Am D
of a Lincoln soldier?
Bm Em
Where contraband can be a man
C Am D
With a musket on his shoulder
Em G C
I've got to stand up tall before I'm done
Em G C
Wrap these hands of mine around a gun
Em G C
And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue
Em C
Can you r——un?
Em C
Can you r—-un?
G Bm C
Can you r——-un?
