G (strum the chord once slowly)
G D C G
He said his pride and joy was that ol' John Bull Tin....
G D
1. He said it saved him from a bullet once
C GBut I did not believe
He's just an old man in the park half drunk on rum
G D C GAs he rolled another smoke and closed the John Bull Tin
G D GHe said, "I've carried that since 1941."
Chorus
Rubbed and worn a shiny silver
GBlue letters chipped away
G DHis memories and tabacco fit within
He had one religious medal that he carried near his heart
G D GBut his pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
G D
2. He said. "It used to be a tire patch kit
C GBut that was long ago
It's memories and tabacco now my friend
G DYa know some folks need a magic lamp
C GTo conjure up their dreams
But mine are kept inside the John Bull Tin."
Repeat Chorus
Solo: strum through one verse
G D
3. I found it lyin' in the grass
In a park near Shepherd's Bush
G DI never saw that old man again
G DI guess he rolled a final smoke
And went to his reward
G D GWhy else would he have dropped the John Bull Tin?
Repeat Chorus
G D C D G
His pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
