Am                     G  
Your mother died night you were born  
G   Am             C  
Her name you never knew  
C    Am         G               F  
Look away, look away nothing to lose  

Am             G  
Left East Tennessee at fourteen  
Am              C  
Wandered to the West  
C    Am         G             F  
Look away,look away born into death  



G              F                Am  
You fought the sailors in New Orleans  
G              F                        Am  
You worked the flatboats and walked the streets  
G        F          Am  
Hit Nacogdoches in 49  
G                     F                    Am  
And there you saw the devil the very first time  



F             C  
Kid don't you know me?  
F                      C  
We are the last of the true  
C         G     F  
Drink up! Drink up!  
C         G     F  
Drink up! Drink up!  
Am                 F        G         Am  
Cause tonight your souls required of you  

Am                     G  
Signed on with a stone mad captain  
Am             C  
Rode on Mexico  
Am         G             F  
Look away, look away war behold  


Am                     G  
Jailed with killers one and all  
Am             C  
But we were killers free  
Am         G             F  
Look away, look away, look to me  

G              F                Am  
You saw the lancers mid heathen hordes  
G              F                        Am  
Bloodstained veils and costumes of war  
G        F          Am  
Hell ain't half full boy hear me  
G                     F                    Am  
War is the game and the god we seek  

Am                     G  
We set out as men of reason  
Am             C  
Armed with Navy Colts  
Am         G             F  
Look away,look away, work paid in gold  

Am                     G  
But you stood witness to yourself  
Am             C  
Our trial you did betray  
Am         G             F  
Look away,look away to judgment day  

G              F                Am  
We killed in the desert we killed in the streets  
G              F                        Am  
We chose what shall and shall not be  
G        F          Am  
We stood with pistols,fought back to back  
G                     F                    Am  
Now youve stood your ground but what ground is that?  


F             C  
Kid don't you know me?  
F                      C  
We are the last of the true  
C         G     F  
Drink up! Drink up!  
C         G     F  
Drink up! Drink up!  
Am                 F        G         Am  
Cause tonight your souls required of you
