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
