Chorus: G One more man gone One more man gone Am One more man One more man gone One more man gone One more man One more man gone One more man gone One more man is gone Em The good son walks into the field He is a tiller, he has a tiller's hands But deep down in his heart now He's laid down his queer plans Against his brother and against his family Yet he worships his brother And he worships his mother But it's his father, he says, is an unfair man Am The good son Em The good son Am The good son The good son has sat and often wept Beneath a malign star by which the good son's kept And the night-time in which he's wrapped Speaks of good now, and it speaks of evil And he calls to his mother And he calls to his father But they are deaf in the shadows Of his brother's truancy The good son The good son The good son The good son And he curses his mother And he curses his father And he curses his virtue like an unclean thing The good son The good son The good son Chorus: G One more man gone One more man gone Am One more man, yeah One more man gone (is gone) One more man gone (is gone) One more man (is gone) One more man gone (is gone) One more man gone (one more man is gone) One more man One more man gone One more man gone One more man is gone One more man gone One more man gone One more man is gone, yeah, yeah One more man gone One more man gone One more man gone The good son (one more man gone) The good son (one more man gone) The good son now is gone (one more man) The good son (one more man gone) The good son (one more man gone) The good son now is gone (one more man) One more man gone One more man gone (one more man) The good son The good son The good son The good son | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
