Solid Gone Tim Barry Capo on the 8th fret I'm working on a pattern for the fingerpicking, I'll post it when I'm happy. It seems to be mostly the octave and the 5th with a little color added occasionally. G I was young when I got married, young when we had kids G C Young when mom got sick and moved in G Dads gone, to that cancer song G Before my dad died, he left me his .22 G C A winchester rifle, it was his dads to G Now its mine, my how time flies G I pay our rent by cleaning, the offices in town G C We live on a bad side, where the police don’t come round G It aint safe, but I can’t move us out G The bills they stack up, in the mailbox outside G C Mostly from hospital, from before dad died G And the rest were past due and shutoff dates G C G Well the new guy on the job, talked me in on my way down G C We go half on some weight, I pay some bills we both get out G He’d front it too, what would you do G I started selling to some old friends, gave some to granny Ruth. G C She’s sick with cancer, same as dads it helps her through G I paid some bills off, was getting out G Then I hear this crashing, outside my house G These men came running at my maw maw, running at my wife G C my daughter started screaming, I feared for their life G weapon drawn, I had not known G The men who tore off my lock, and broken down my door G C And threatened my family, were officers of the law G Darkened rooms, how could I have known G Such a terror, inside my home G C G Nine years to twenty, what have I done G C Nine years to twenty, intent and a gun G To my family, what have I done G For my family, what have I done G Before my dad died, he left me his 22 G C Look over your family son, do what you need to G Dad’s gone, now I’m solid gone G D G But we always done, what needed to be done.
