[Verse 1]
[G]Saturday in the town,
as we bur[C]ied [G]T.J Brown

[Verse 2]
[G]Good man, spent his life
on the K [D]Roll ferry line
[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]He was just a man,
nothing [C]grand, just [G]a man

[Verse 4]
[G]But I never heard him treat
[D]no- one un[G]kind

[Verse 5]
[G]
Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow

[Verse 6]
[G]Let him dow[C]n slow, whi[A]le I dry my [D]eyes

[Verse 7]
[G]Let him dow[C]n slo[G]w, in the gro[C]und slow

[Verse 8]
Let him [C]down slow,
it's [A]old [D]T.J's last rid[G]e

[Verse 9]
[G]
He feried model A's to
[C]the Cape [G]Cherado shore

[Verse 10]
[G]Way before my poppa [D]ever had a son
[G]

[Verse 11]
When I was eight or nine I would
[C]sit by his back [G]porch

[Verse 12]
And [G]he would tell me stories
from [D]back in World War [G]one

[Verse 13]
[G]
Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow

[Verse 14]
[G]Let him dow[C]n slow, whi[A]le I dry my [D]eyes

[Verse 15]
[G]Let him dow[C]n slo[G]w, in the gro[C]und slow

[Verse 17]
T,J's wife [G]passed on,
it [C]was back [G]in '61

[Verse 18]
[G]Seems like yesterday,
my my [D]how time does [G]fly

[Verse 19]
Still [G]I would drop by and
[C]we'd sit and reminis[G]ce

[Verse 20]
And I'd [G]stare across the river
so as [D]not to wath him [G]cry

[Verse 21]
[G]
Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow

[Verse 22]
[G]Let him dow[C]n slow, whi[A]le I dry my [D]eyes

[Verse 23]
[G]Let him dow[C]n slo[G]w, in the gro[C]und slow

[D]it's old T.J's last [G]ride

[Verse 25]
[G]
Well now here we standwith our
[C]memories and [G]prayers

[Verse 26]
[G]Mourning and crying down
[D]to the youngest [G]child

[Verse 27]
And [G]all that's gathered here
will remem[C]ber [G]T.J Brown

[Verse 28]
[G]He will miss his river and we'll
[D]miss his old [G]smile

[Verse 29]
[G]
Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow

[Verse 30]
[G]Let him dow[C]n slow,
[A]while I dry [D]my eye[G]s

[Verse 31]
Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow

[Verse 32]
[G]Let him dow[C]n slow,
it's [A]old [D]T.J's last rid[G]e
