The Sentinel chords

CAPO: 3rd Fret

INTRO: [Bm] [C] [G] [D] [Bm] [C] [G] [D] [Bm]

Francis [C]called me Joe [G]
But that is not my [D]name [C]
I told him what it [G]really was
But he [Bm]lost it just the [D]same [Bm]

When they made the Fr[C]ancis plan
They t[G]ook too much off the [D]top [Em]
The sentinel of [C]Seneca [G]
The eight-hundred [D]block [C]

He would sc[Bm]are the kids [C]
And they would [Bm]run a[C]way
'Til they found he was [Am7]one of them [C]
Though he was big and [D]grey [Bm]

Already fifty-[C]five
He [G]dressed as though he [D]cared [C]
He wore his time out [G]on the block
Be[Bm]neath his close cut [D]hair [Bm]

He always h[C]ad a word [G]
For anyone who [D]stopped [Em]
The sentinel of [C]Seneca [G]
The eight-hundred [D]block [C]

He'd say, "You can't park [Bm]there" [C]
And strangers they would [Bm]go [C]
They would do just what[Am7] he said [C]
Because they didn't [D]know [Bm]

Francis [C]lived alone [G]
And that's the way he [D]died [C]
I wonder [G]if they'll need a guard [Bm]
On the other [D]side [Bm]

Some people [C]roam the world [G]
To make some kind of [D]change [Em]
The parking up on [C]Seneca [G]
Will never be the [D]same [C]

They say he go[Bm]t a j[C]ob
On some other [Bm]hill [C]
And if you don't [Am7]miss him [C]
I know the neighbours [D]will [Bm]

Francis [C]called me Joe [G]
But that is not my [D]name [C]
I told him what it [G]really was
But he [Bm]lost it just the [D]same [Bm]

When they made the Fr[C]ancis plan
They t[G]ook too much off the [D]top [Em]
The sentinel of [C]Seneca [G]
The eight-hundred [D]block [Bm] [C] [Bm] [C] [Bm]
