The Puritan (CHORDS) by Ray Cooper aka Chopper
[Intro]~
Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dsus2 Dm Dsus2
[Verse 1]~
Dm F
I filled my saddlebags with corn
C Dm
And bid my home goodbye
F
I set out for the west
C F C
With the flaming sun in my eyes
Dm C Dm
A sword and a bible by my side
[Verse 2]~
Dm F
I joined a regiment of horse
C Dm
And with them I did go
F
We roared up hills and over dales
C F C
As we hunted down our frightened foe
Dm C Dm Dsus2
And the Lord have mercy on their souls
[Chorus 1]~
Dm C Dm
I've seen castles torn down
Am F C
Villages alight and cattle burn
F Am F
I've listened to the tolling of the gun
Dm F C
And the clash of steel as morning comes
Dm C Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dsus2
And the Lord's seen all that I have done
[Verse 3]~
Dm F
They gave me a house in lieu of pay
C Dm
With fine grazing land
F
A river of silver running through
C F C
It was a paradise that I had found
Dm C Dm Dsus2
And the Lord led me to this chosen ground
[Chorus 2]~
Dm C Dm
But when I hear the crying of a child
Am F C
I still hear the rattle of the drum
F Am F
And see the shadows hanging in the trees
Dm F C
And a smell of burning follows me
Dm C Dm
And the Lord's seen all that I have done!
[Chorus 3]~
Dm C Dm
But Jesus was always on our side
Am F C
A sword of righteousness hung in the sky
F Am F
We sang a hymn to make the cowards turn
Dm F C
And then we cut them down as they did run
Dm C Dm Dsus2 Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 Dm
And the Lord's seen all that I have done!
