John Gorka - The sentinel

Francis ^Ccalled me Joe ^G But that is not my ^Dname ^C I told him what it ^Greally was But he ^Bmlost it just the ^Dsame ^Bm

When they made the Fr^Cancis plan They t^Gook too much off the ^Dtop ^Em The sentinel of ^CSeneca ^G The eight-hundred ^Dblock ^C

He would sc^Bmare the kids ^C And they would ^Bmrun a^Cway 'Til they found he was ^Am7one of them ^C Though he was big and ^Dgrey ^Bm

Already fifty-^Cfive He ^Gdressed as though he ^Dcared ^C He wore his time out ^Gon the block Be^Bmneath his close cut ^Dhair ^Bm

He always h^Cad a word ^G For anyone who ^Dstopped ^Em The sentinel of ^CSeneca ^G The eight-hundred ^Dblock ^C

He'd say, "You can't park ^Bmthere" ^C And strangers they would ^Bmgo ^C They would do just what^Am7 he said ^C Because they didn't ^Dknow ^Bm

Francis ^Clived alone ^G And that's the way he ^Ddied ^C I wonder ^Gif they'll need a guard ^Bm On the other ^Dside ^Bm

Some people ^Croam the world ^G To make some kind of ^Dchange ^Em The parking up on ^CSeneca ^G Will never be the ^Dsame ^C

They say he go^Bmt a j^Cob On some other ^Bmhill ^C And if you don't ^Am7miss him ^C I know the neighbours ^Dwill ^Bm

Francis ^Ccalled me Joe ^G But that is not my ^Dname ^C I told him what it ^Greally was But he ^Bmlost it just the ^Dsame ^Bm

When they made the Fr^Cancis plan They t^Gook too much off the ^Dtop ^Em The sentinel of ^CSeneca ^G The eight-hundred ^Dblock ^{Bm C Bm C Bm}
