John Gorka - The Sentinel
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: Bm C G D Bm C G D Bm
C G
Francis called me Joe
D C
But that is not my name
G
I told him what it really was
Bm D Bm
But he lost it just the same
C
When they made the Francis plan
G D Em
They took too much off the top
C G
The sentinel of Seneca
D C
The eight-hundred block
Bm C
He would scare the kids
Bm C
And they would run away
Am7 C
'Til they found he was one of them
D Bm
Though he was big and grey
C
Already fifty-five
G D C
He dressed as though he cared
G
He wore his time out on the block
Bm D Bm
Beneath his close cut hair
C G
He always had a word
D Em
For anyone who stopped
C G
The sentinel of Seneca
D C
The eight-hundred block
Bm C
He'd say, "You can't park there"
Bm C
And strangers they would go
Am7 C
They would do just what he said
D Bm
Because they didn't know
C G
Francis lived alone
D C
And that's the way he died
G Bm
I wonder if they'll need a guard
D Bm
On the other side
C G
Some people roam the world
D Em
To make some kind of change
C G
The parking up on Seneca
D C
Will never be the same
Bm C
They say he got a job
Bm C
On some other hill
Am7 C
And if you don't miss him
D Bm
I know the neighbours will
C G
Francis called me Joe
D C
But that is not my name
G
I told him what it really was
Bm D Bm
But he lost it just the same
C
When they made the Francis plan
G D Em
They took too much off the top
C G
The sentinel of Seneca
D Bm C Bm C Bm
The eight-hundred block
