[Intro]
N.C.
The Munition Maker!
[Verse 1]
Em D
I am the Cannon king, behold!
Em D
I perish on a throne of gold
C Em
With forest far and turret high
D Em
Renowned and rajah-rich am I
Em D
My father was and his before
Em D
With wealth we owe to war on war;
C G
But let no potentate be proud
D C
There are no pockets in a shroud
[Verse 2]
Em D
By nature I am mild and kind
Em D
To gentleness and truth inclined;
C Em
And though the pheasants over-run
Em C
My woods, I will not touch a gun
C Em
Yet while each monster that I forge
D G
Thunders destruction from its gorge
C Em
Death's whisper is, I vow, more loud
D C
There are no pockets in a shroud
[Verse 3]
Em D
My time is short, my ships at sea
Em D
Already seem like ghosts to me
C Em
My millions mock me, I am poor
Em D
As any beggar at my door
Em D
My vast dominion I resign
C Em
Six feet of earth to claim as mine
Em D G
Brooding with shoulders bid bitter-bowed
D C
There are no pockets in a shroud
