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
