He’s Gone

Garcia/Hunter

[E]Rat in a drain ditch, Caught on a limb,

[A]You know better but [B]I know [E]him.

Like I told you, what I said,

Steal your face right off your head.

Now he’s [A]gon[E]e, now he’s [A]gon[E]e, [E7]Lord he’s [A]gone, he’s [B]gone.

Like a [A]steam locomotive, [B]rollin’ down the track

He’s [A]gone, gone, [E]nothin’s gonna [B]bring him [A]back…He’s [E]gone.

——————————————————–

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride,

Hot as a pistol but cool inside.

Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,

Nothin’ left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!

Now he’s gone, now he’s gone Lord he’s gone, he’s gone.

Like a steam locomotive, rollin’ down the track

He’s gone, gone, nothin’s gonna bring him back…He’s gone.

——————————————————–

Break:

[B]Goin’ where the [D]wind don’t blow so [A]strange,

[B]Maybe off on some [D]high cold mountain [A]chain.

[D]Lost one round but the [A]prize wasn’t [G]anything,

A [D]knife in the [Dm]back and [A]more of the [B]same.

Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,

You know better but I know him.

Like I told you, what I said,

Steal your face right off your head.

Now he’s gone, now he’s gone Lord he’s gone, he’s gone.

Like a steam locomotive, rollin’ down the track

He’s gone, gone, nothin’s gonna bring him back…He’s gone.

Ooh, nothin’s gonna bring him back.
