Old John Robertson chords by The Byrds

Intro D G A D A

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

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

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

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