John Oaks is in the neighborhood
G
F
G
Protecting all the trees
G
F
G
He's the master of irrigation
G
F
G
And he knows what he sees
G
F
G
Grape farmers watering everywhere
G
F
G
Pipes running where they please
G
F
G
John sees his laws are broken
G
F
G
Trees drowning where they breathe
G
F
G
Now John used to be a mellow man
G
F
G
Drinking Chai and smoking weed
G
F
G
Ain't no one in the county
G
F
G
Ever see'd whatever he see'd

Old John rides in his pickup
G
F
G
With rakes and friends in the back
G
F
G
Workers he takes with him
G
F
G
Then he drives them all back
G
F
G
To protect them from the politicians
G
F
G
Using them to get ahead
G
F
G
Preying on the people
G
F
G
Trying to get inside their heads
G
F
G
John Oaks is really stand-up
G
F
G
He won't take shit lying down
G
F
G
He calls it like he sees it
G
F
G
And he puts his money down

One day at the demonstration
G
F
G
John Oaks was standing up
G
F
G
He arrived there at the location
G
F
G
In his old pickup truck
G
F
G
Took a rake in his hand
G
F
G
And his workers by his side
G
F
G
Stood there waiting for his turn
G
F
G
To speak and turn the tide
G
F
G
When he found himself surrounded
G
F
G
By police everywhere
G
F
G
They tried to take his workers to jail
G
F
G
When he grabbed one by his hair

Shots rang out and people yelled
G
F
G
As the police took control
G
F
G
Shot a black man right where he fell
G
F
G
With a sniper on the knoll
G
F
G
John Oaks saw law and order
G
F
G
Was leading him astray
G
F
G
Tried to get back in his pickup
G
F
G
With his workers to get away
G
F
G
That's when the police moved in
G
F
G
And stood there in his way
G
F
G
John started up his pickup
G
F
G
And that was his last day

They said he had a pistol
G
F
G
When the old pickup backfired
G
F
G
And shot him there behind the wheel
G
F
G
And then John Oaks expired
G
F
G
The workers grabbed the rakes
G
F
G
And that's all that I can say
G
F
G
They went to the cemetery
G
F
G
And they stay there to this day
