G (strum the chord once slowly)
SOL RE DO SOL
He said his pride and joy was that ol' John Bull Tin....
SOL RE
1. He said it saved him from a bullet once
DO SOL
But I did not believe
SOL RE
He's just an old man in the park half drunk on rum
SOL RE DO SOL
As he rolled another smoke and closed the John Bull Tin
SOL RE SOL
He said, "I've carried that since 1941."
Chorus
SOL DO
Rubbed and worn a shiny silver
SOL
Blue letters chipped away
SOL RE
His memories and tabacco fit within
SOL SOL7 DO SOL
He had one religious medal that he carried near his heart
SOL RE SOL
But his pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
SOL RE
2. He said. "It used to be a tire patch kit
DO SOL
But that was long ago
SOL RE
It's memories and tabacco now my friend
SOL RE
Ya know some folks need a magic lamp
DO SOL
To conjure up their dreams
SOL RE SOL
But mine are kept inside the John Bull Tin."
Repeat Chorus
Solo: strum through one verse
SOL RE
3. I found it lyin' in the grass
DO SOL
In a park near Shepherd's Bush
SOL RE
I never saw that old man again
SOL RE
I guess he rolled a final smoke
DO SOL
And went to his reward
SOL RE SOL
Why else would he have dropped the John Bull Tin?
Repeat Chorus
SOL RE DO RE SOL
His pride and joy was that old John Bull Tin
