Solid Gone
Tim Barry
Capo on the 8th fret 
I'm working on a pattern for the fingerpicking, I'll post it when I'm happy.
It seems to be mostly the octave and the 5th with a little color added occasionally.
GI was young when I got married, young when we had kids
GYoung when mom got Csick and moved in
GDads gone, to that cancer song
GBefore my dad died, he left me his .22
GA winchester rifle, it was Chis dads to
GNow its mine, my how time flies
GI  pay our rent by cleaning, the offices in town
GWe live on a bad side, where the Cpolice don’t come round
GIt aint safe, but I can’t move us out
GThe bills they stack up, in the mailbox outside
GMostly from hospital, from bCefore dad died
GAnd the rest were past due and shutoff dates
G                           C
GWell the new guy on the job, talked me in on my way down
GWe go half on some weight, I Cpay some bills we both get out
GHe’d front it too, what would you do
GI started selling to some old friends, gave some to granny Ruth.
GShe’s sick with cancer, same as Cdads it helps her through
GI paid some bills off, was getting out
GThen I hear this crashing, outside my house
GThese men came running at my maw maw, running at my wife
Gmy daughter started screaming, I Cfeared for their life
Gweapon drawn, I had not known
GThe men who tore off my lock, and broken down my door
GAnd threatened my family, were offCicers of the law
GDarkened rooms, how could I have known
GSuch a terror, inside my home
G                         C
GNine years to twenty, what have I done
GNine years to twenty, inCtent and a gun
GTo my family, what have I done
GFor my family, what have I done
GBefore my dad died, he left me his 22
GLook over your family son, do Cwhat you need to
GDad’s gone, now I’m solid gone
GBut we always done, what nDeeded tGo be done.

Solid Gone

Tim Barry

Capo on the 8th fret

I'm working on a pattern for the fingerpicking, I'll post it when I'm happy.

It seems to be mostly the octave and the 5th with a little color added occasionally.

I was young when I got married, young when we had kids

G C

Young when mom got sick and moved in

Dads gone, to that cancer song

Before my dad died, he left me his .22

G C

A winchester rifle, it was his dads to

Now its mine, my how time flies

I pay our rent by cleaning, the offices in town

G C

We live on a bad side, where the police don’t come round

It aint safe, but I can’t move us out

The bills they stack up, in the mailbox outside

G C

Mostly from hospital, from before dad died

And the rest were past due and shutoff dates

G C

Well the new guy on the job, talked me in on my way down

G C

We go half on some weight, I pay some bills we both get out

He’d front it too, what would you do

I started selling to some old friends, gave some to granny Ruth.

G C

She’s sick with cancer, same as dads it helps her through

I paid some bills off, was getting out

Then I hear this crashing, outside my house

These men came running at my maw maw, running at my wife

G C

my daughter started screaming, I feared for their life

weapon drawn, I had not known

The men who tore off my lock, and broken down my door

G C

And threatened my family, were officers of the law

Darkened rooms, how could I have known

Such a terror, inside my home

G C

Nine years to twenty, what have I done

G C

Nine years to twenty, intent and a gun

To my family, what have I done

For my family, what have I done

Before my dad died, he left me his 22

G C

Look over your family son, do what you need to

Dad’s gone, now I’m solid gone

G D G

But we always done, what needed to be done.
