This is my first go at figuring out chords for a song. I usually play on the second fret.  Enjoy.


C C C C C G F F F F

C C C C C G F (hold)

 C              C               F                      Am
Elizabeth, that thundercloud is creeping up the Empire Hill 
        Dm                 F
There's shadows on the overpass
        Dm                  F
And puddles in the old dirt path

C          C                   F                Am
Peoria lay silent still in the belly of the overgrown
    Dm                F
All quiet on the open plain
    Dm                   F
Footprints to the family plot
      G             C        F      G
Where evermore will restless sorrow sleep
     C      F
In a broken heap

(Chorus)

F                F
Cemetery Guns go bang bang bang
C                 G          F
Shooting all the sky full of holes
C          G        F
Twenty-one times in row
        Am                    F      
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat
       G                C
On the green grass down below

 C            C                F                            Am 
Elizabeth our fathers came and settled where the ground was flat
     Dm                    F
Drew water from the Indian wells
    Dm                      F
Cut timber from the rolling fells
    C            C                   F                    Am
Grandaddy-o bled hearth and home for oiling the company gears
   Dm                  F
No rest for the errant ones
   Dm                  F
Godspeed their reckless sons
    G               C        F        G
Who evermore play their forefathers' hands
         C       F
On the foreign sands

(Chorus) x 2

F                F
Cemetery Guns go bang bang bang
C                G           F
Shooting all the sky full of holes
C           G        F
Twenty-one times in row
        Am                    F
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat
         G               C  
On the green grass down below
