Artist: The Steeldrivers
[INTRO]
G, Em x2
[VERSE 1]
There's s[G]moke down by the river
Hear the cannon and the [Em]drum
I've g[G]ot one thing to ask you honey
Can yo[Em]u run?
You k[G]now I hate to ask so late
But the moment's finally [Em]come
And there w[G]on't be time to change your mind
Can you[Em] run?
[CHORUS]
Can you [Bm]run, to the[Em] freedom line
of a [C]Lincoln [Am]soldie[D]r?
Where contra[Bm]band can[Em] be a man
With a [C]musket on his [Am]shoulde[D]r
I've [Em]got to stand up [G]tall before I'm [C]done
W[Em]rap these hands of[G] mine around a[C] gun
And [Em]chase the taste of [G]bondage from my [C]tongue
Can you [Em]r——un?[C]
Can you [Em]r—-un?[C]
G, Em x2
[VERSE 2]
I'm [G]takin’ nothin’ with me
We've just got time to beat the [Em]sun
And the b[G]oys in gray, are never far away
Can you[Em] run?
[CHORUS]
Can you [Bm]run, to the[Em] freedom line
of a [C]Lincoln [Am]soldie[D]r?
Where contra[Bm]band can[Em] be a man
With a [C]musket on his [Am]shoulde[D]r
I've [Em]got to stand up [G]tall before I'm [C]done
W[Em]rap these hands of[G] mine around a[C] gun
And [Em]chase the taste of [G]bondage from my [C]tongue
Can you [Em]r——un?[C]
Can you [Em]r—-un?[C]
G, Em x2
[VERSE 3]
There's s[G]moke down by the river
Hear the cannon and the [Em]drum
And [G]even if I die, I've got to try
Can you[Em] run?
[CHORUS]
Can you [Bm]run, to the[Em] freedom line
of a [C]Lincoln [Am]soldie[D]r?
Where contra[Bm]band can[Em] be a man

And [Em]chase the taste of [G]bondage from my [C]tongue
Can you [Em]r——un?[C]
Can you [Em]r—-un?[C]
Can you [G]r—[Bm]—-u[C]n?
