A augmentedA           D MajorD       A augmentedA
Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat
A augmentedA            D MajorD        E MajorE
People everywhere would laugh behind his back
A augmentedA   D MajorD    A augmentedA    F# minorF#m     E MajorE
No one cared to take any time to find out
        D MajorD           E MajorE
What he was all about, fear kept them out

A augmentedA                D MajorD        A augmentedA
Children laughed and played and didn´t know his name
A augmentedA              D MajorD        E MajorE
They could tell when he was coming just the same
A augmentedA    D MajorD       A augmentedA        F# minorF#m     E MajorE
Walking slow with old John´ crippled wife by his side
     D MajorD        E MajorE
Then she sighed, then she died

A augmentedA             D MajorD           A augmentedA
Magic words from him would charm some children´ ears
A augmentedA                D MajorD       E MajorE
But they laughed at him when he hid behind his tears
A augmentedA   D MajorD      A augmentedA       F# minorF#m     E MajorE
All in vain was no game for he'd lost an old friend
    D MajorD      E MajorE
in the end, in the end

A augmentedA           D MajorD       A augmentedA
Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat
A augmentedA            D MajorD        E MajorE
People everywhere would laugh behind his back
A augmentedA   D MajorD    A augmentedA    F# minorF#m     E MajorE
No one cared to take any time to find out
        D MajorD           E MajorE
What he was all about, fear kept them out
