    Ruination Day Part 2 - Gillian Welch/David Rawlings

    Time (The Revelator) - song 8

    Capo 5 Em (plus hammer A & D and 022300)

     

    And the great boat sank, and the Okies fled

    And the great emancipator took a bullet in his head

     

    In the head

    Took a bullet in the back of his head

     

    It was not December and it was not May

    It was the 14th of April, and his ruination day

     

    That's the day

    That's the day of his ruination day

     

    They were one, they were two,

    they were three, they were four

    They were 500 hundred miles from their home.

     

    From Their Home

    They were 500 miles from their home

     

    When the iceberg hit,

    and they must have known,

    God moves on the water Casey Jones

     

    Casey Jones

    God moves on the water Casey Jones

     

    It was not December and it was not May

    It was the 14th of April, and his runiation day

     

    That's the day

    That's the day that his ruination day
