The Sentinel

INTRO: Bm C G D  Bm C G D  Bm


        C             G
Francis called me Joe
                   D     C
But that is not my name
                   G
I told him what it really was
       Bm               D      Bm
But he lost it just the same


                     C
When they made the Francis plan
      G                    D     Em
They took too much off the top
                C      G
The sentinel of Seneca
                  D       C
The eight-hundred block


           Bm            C
He would scare the kids
               Bm   C
And they would run away
                       Am7         C
'Til they found he was one of them
                      D      Bm
Though he was big and grey


              C
Already fifty-five
   G                    D       C
He dressed as though he cared

                     G
He wore his time out on the block
  Bm                  D     Bm
Beneath his close cut hair


           C          G
He always had a word
               D        Em
For anyone who stopped
                C        G
The sentinel of Seneca
                  D         C
The eight-hundred block


                          Bm      C
He'd say, "You can't park there"
                         Bm  C
And strangers they would go
                       Am7         
They would do just what he said
 C

                    D       Bm
Because they didn't know


        C            G
Francis lived alone
                      D      C
And that's the way he died
         G                       Bm
I wonder if they'll need a guard
             D      Bm
On the other side


            C              G
Some people roam the world
                     D        Em
To make some kind of change
                  C       G
The parking up on Seneca
                  D         C
Will never be the same


              Bm   C
They say he got a job
              Bm   C
On some other hill
                 Am7         C
And if you don't miss him
                      D      Bm
I know the neighbours will


        C             G
Francis called me Joe
                   D     C
But that is not my name
                   G
I told him what it really was
       Bm               D      Bm
But he lost it just the same


                     C
When they made the Francis plan
      G                    D     Em
They took too much off the top
                C      G
The sentinel of Seneca
                  D      Bm  C  
The eight-hundred block
