Pigeon Run Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]One, two, a -one, two,
three, [Dm]four[D]
Frozen in each town and village
In the central [Am]square
[D]Never in a dark museum,
but in the open [G]air
[B]A monument to mortal g[Em]lories,
wars that we've [Gm]won, surely
[G]All [D]of us have heard the stories,
[Cm]how his deeds were done[D]
[Cm]Ah, Pigeon R[D]un
The day that they unveiled his statue,
and the bands that played
[Am]We a[D]ll heard a widow weeping,
while the mayor [G]prayed
The [B]words they chiseled in the marble
were [Em]shadows in the sun
[Gm]Saying, [D]all our boys who went to battle
[Cm]is the bravest o[D]ne
[Cm]Ah, [C]pigeon r[D]un
And pigeons perch upon his shoulder
[C]The boy who's never growing older
An [Am]old man comes
To [Em]scrub the stains
But [C]when he's gone
They're [D]back again
The boy who'd never be forgotten
The boy who knew [Am]no fear
[D]For charging when the bugles blew
He gets a reef [G]each year
And [B]there he stands through
all the seasons
[Em]Clutching at his [Gm]gun
Stone [G]cold [D]blind
But that's the reason
[Cm]He's [C]on pigeon [D]run
[Cm]Oh Pigeon ru[D]n
And pigeons perch upon his shoulder
[C]They spread his head with fertilizer,
but [Am]no hair grows
Upon [Em]his head
Noth[C]ing grows
When you are dead
