Native Son John Hiatt
(Intro)
[Em] [C] [Em] [C] [G] [C] [G]
[Em] [C] [Em] [C] [G] [C] [G]
(Verse)
You finally found the [Em]mainstream[C] [Em] [C]In the middle of your [G]life[C] [G]
You tapped into a [Em]vein Of [C]endless gold [Em]chains Now you're [C]locked up [G]tight[C] [G]
Tearing down the [Em]middle of it[C] [Em] [C]Cut it right in [G]half[C] [G]
Bobbing up and down the [Em]waves like a [C]runaway [Em]slave on a [C]Huck Finn [G]raft[C] [G]
(Chorus)
Take your [Em]wife [C]Take your [Em]family
And [C]Take your [G]gun [C] [G] Running through the w[Em]oods
[C]And the burned out neighb[Em]orhoods L[C]ooking for s[G]omeone[C] [G]
A member of your [Em]tribe [C]a Place you can [Em]hide
'Til [C]the war has [G]begun [C] [G] 'Cause in the fields before the [Em]flood
[C]You'll be spilling [Em]blood just like a [C]native [G]son[C] [G]
(Verse)
Where you gonna [Em]run to[C] [Em] [C]there ain't no under[G]ground[C] [G]
If only you could [Em]fly you'd [C]cut across the [Em]sky
Like a [C]rifle [G]round [C] [G] oh, who are your [Em]people[C] [Em]
Tell me [C]where is your [G]homeland [C] [G] 'Cause they're dying side by [Em]side
At the [C]river of [Em]pride where we [C]tried to take a [G]stand[C] [G]
(Chorus)
Take your [Em]wife [C]Take your [Em]family
And [C]Take your [G]gun [C] [G] Running through the w[Em]oods
[C]And the burned out neighb[Em]orhoods L[C]ooking for s[G]omeone[C] [G]
A member of your [Em]tribe [C]a Place you can [Em]hide
'Til [C]the war has [G]begun [C] [G] 'Cause in the fields before the [Em]flood
[C]You'll be spilling [Em]blood just like a [C]native [G]son[C] [G]
Take your [Em]wife [C]Take your [Em]family
And [C]Take your [G]gun [C] [G] Running through the w[Em]oods
[C]And the burned out neighb[Em]orhoods L[C]ooking for s[G]omeone[C] [G]
A member of your [Em]tribe [C]a Place you can [Em]hide
'Til [C]the war has [G]begun [C] [G] 'Cause in the fields before the [Em]flood
[C]You'll be spilling [Em]blood just like a [C]native [G]son[C] [G]
In the fields before the [Em]flood
[C]You'll be spilling [Em]blood just like a [C]native [G]son[C] [G]
[Em] [C] [Em] [C] [G]
