Old John Robertson

Intro: D G A D A

[A]Old John Robertson he [D]wore a Stetson [A]hat
[A]People everywhere would [D]laugh behind his [E]back
[A]No one [D]cared to [A]take any [F#m]time to find [E]out
What he was all [D]about, fear kept them [E]out
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/byrds/old_john_robertson_crd.html )
[A]Children laughed and played and [D]didnt know his [A]name
[A]They could tell when he was [D]coming just the [E]same
[A]Walking [D]slow with old [A]Johns crippled [F#m]wife by his [E]side
Then she [D]sighed, then she [E]died

E D E A F#m B A D F#m

Magic words from him would charm some childrens ears
But they laughed at him when he hid behind his tears
All in vain was no game for he'd lost an old friend
in the end, in the end
