[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am G
Billy and John Gibson were friends of mine
Am G
twin brothers and the closest you'd find
Am G
we would run through the corn field all day
F G Am
and we'd have no other way
[Chorus 1]
Am
One night it rained so hard
G
we ran like hell,
Am G
"Toward the open field" I heard my mother yell
Am G
in a blinding flash it was done
F G Am
and the Gibsons lost a son
[Chorus 2]
Dm Am
I chased the twins into an open field
Dm C G
gazed in wonder as the thunder peeled
Dm Am
there for a moment- the next one gone
F G Am
there were two then there was one
[Verse 2]
Am G
Searched and never found where John went
Am G
life of thirteen years so quickly spent and
Am G
the whole town grieved him 'til they learned
F G Am
next year's summer he returned.
[Chorus 3]
Dm Am
They found him lyin' in the open field
Dm C G
wet and burned but in two days he healed
Dm Am
asked him to explain they could not say
Am G Am
how he had not aged a day
[Violin Solo]
Am G Am C G Am G Am C G
F G F E F G F E F G Am
[Verse 3]
Am G
So it was that for all I knew
Am G
every year that John lived, Bill lived for two and
Am G
the summer storm returned to claim it's prize
F G Am
right before Bill's very eyes
[Chorus 4]
Dm Am
They'd find John lyin' by his brother's gate
Dm C G
gone for a year and not a moment late
Dm Am
Bill was older when his time had come
F G Am
but John still looked so young
[Instrumental]
Am G Am C F G F E F C G
[Last Verse]
Am G
Billy and John Gibson were friends of mine
Am G
twin brothers and the closest you'd find.
[Outro]
F G E Am
