This is a fantastic song. It's not usually played on the guitar I thought I'd tab
it because no-one else had and it needs to played by everyone. x
Verse 1
F
I always said she was a runner,
And running through the fields,
Am
I put a gun, I put a gun to her,
With the force she came to kneel,
F
And as she screams and in her own blood,
I said sympathy for you,
Am
I'll never have, I'll never have none,
Its time you told the truth,
F
And I left the gun beside her,
And running in the nights,
Am
I run for land, I ran for safety,
For new places and new sight,
F
Always said she was a runner
And I thought I knew her well.
Am
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
CHORUS:
A#
You should have died that very night,
F
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer,
A#
you took my life, and I took my flight,
F
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer.
Verse 2
F Am
F
I always knew her as a baker,
But something I knew not,
Am
is That when I tried to take her,
There was something Ides forgot,
F
For I knew I couldn't keep her,
And running out of time,
Am
I tried so hard, I tried to cheat her,
She was a running in her prime,
F
So I thought about my choices,
And chose to drop the gun,
Am
And amongst the screaming voices,
Something told me I should run.
F
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
Am
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
CHORUS
Verse 3
C
There is so much to remember,
F
But there is more to forget,
C
I isn't seen you since December,
F
I'm surprised we haven't met,
C
and In the Depths of the Silly Isles,
F
I heard you reside,
C
and in the depths of my mind,
F
I can still see your eyes
