But Bobby what really went down

G             D           C      Csus  C
The kids grew up with the fires alarming
G        D             C          Csus  C
Now have kids of their own-ly so charming
G               D              C Csus  C

Chance to raise Cain all over again

G                                   Em
So go on tell the indians the war is over - and they can just go home
    C                          D              Em      
The fields are on fire and the forest all gone
G                    Em
But the war is still raging
                C              Csus  C
It fractured my heart and mind

G       D             C        Csus  C
And I'm included just out of politeness
G          D          C          Csus  C

You wrapped that ball and chain around my heart and mind
G                        Em       
She gave me a son called Big Daddy Cain
      C               Csus  C
And a little baby girl

   G       D         C             Csus  C
I don't remember too much about it now
     G       D       C             Csus  C
Just did the best we could've somehow
     G        D   C             Csus  C
