     G+G
He was an old broom maker

A augmentedA medicine man

On an old boneshaker

Just the open road

Oxen borne

But it never, ever showed

On me you can depend


Verse:

G+G
He could hold the ocean


G+G
In the palm of his hand


G+G
What he calls emotion


     C majorC
Let time slip like grains of sand


     G+G
When the music took him


G+G
To the streets in town

He could catch a picture

For the price of half-a-crown

Verse:

G+G
Now his heart was broken


G+G
On a wedding day


G+G
Not a word was spoken


         C majorC
'Cause there was nothing left to say

About how he whispered


G+G
How he went inside

And he never kissed her

That day he lost his bride

Raggle-taggle gypsy


G+G
Raggle-taggle mind


G+G
That's our world, it saw him


   C majorC
As he would not be confined


     G+G
It was a touch of emotion


G+G
That bids his wing


G+G
Through the lanes bicycled


   C majorC
To a henhouse where he lived

Bring me that old wristwatch
