[Intro 1]
[Em][G][Em][G][D][A][Em][G][D][Bm]
[Em][G][D][A][Em][G][D]
[Em]
On a [G]muggy night in the

[Verse 1]
[D]north end in Ju[A]ly[Am]
A [Em]kid named Joseph Beepe[G]r Spence
Took a [D]shotgun blast to the [Bm]back
[Em]And died...
There [G]by the CP tracks,
along [D]the great [Am]divide, you see
Fought [Em]two native gangs [G]called the
[D]deuce and the [Em]I.P.

[Verse 2]
[C]Dances with [G]warriors,
[D]hatred between [Em]slaves
[C]They kill each [G]other off,
[D]we all [Bm]get saved
[Em]I can[C]'t help but [G]think... his
[D]mother's [Em]tears
Beeper Spence was [G]thirteen
In the [D]northern fron[Em]tier

[Verse 3]
[Em]A van crossed the bridge [G]that night
And [D]stopped at Flora [Bm]Avenue
[Em]When Beeper thought they'd
[G]lost their way
[D]Walked over to see [A]what he [Am]could do
[Em]"Are you I.P.? Straight up,"[G] he'd say
[F#m]Even if i[D]t wasn't t[Bm]rue
[Em]"Bust a cap in his ass."
[G]He tur[D]ned to run, heard the blast
Then [Em]he was through

[Verse 4]
The [C]kids in [G]the van weren't much
[D]older than [Am]him
[C]Couldn't tell the[G] difference
by the [D]color of [Bm]their skin
[C]One thing in com[G]mon,
and [D]one thing was real [Am]clear
[Em]Their future was e[G]nded in the nort[D]hern frontier[Em]

[Verse 5]
[C]Dances with war[G]riors,
[Bm]hatred [D]between [A]slaves
[C]They cut each other [G]down
and [D]no [Bm]one is safe
[C]Jeff Giles is cut [G]down in his [D]twenty
second [G]year[Em]
Trying to stop an I.P. [G]robbery
In the [D]northern [Em]fron[A] tie[D]r[Em]
