The John Bull Tin
Composição de (Tom Russell)

[Refrão]
Verse G D He said it saved him from a bullet once C G But I did not believe G D He's just an old man in the park half drunk on rum G D C G As he rolled another smoke and closed the John Bull Tin G D G He said, "I've carried that since 1941."
[Refrão]
G C Rubbed and worn a shiny silver G Blue letters chipped away G D His memories and tabacco fit within G G7 C G He had one religious medal that he carried near his heart G D G But his pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin Verse G D He said. "It used to be a tire patch kit C G But that was long ago G D It's memories and tabacco now my friend G D Ya know some folks need a magic lamp C G To conjure up their dreams G D G But mine are kept inside the John Bull Tin."
