G C

VERSE:

G C

I lit my purest candle close to my

G C

Window hoping it would catch the eye

G C

Of any vagabond that passed it by

Am G C G G

And I waited in my lonely house

VERSE:

G C

Before he came I felt him drawing near

G C

And as he neared I felt thee ancient fear

G C

That he had come to my door and jeer

Am G C G G

And I waited in my fleeting house

CHORUS:

D C Em C

Tell me stories, I called to the hobo

D C Em C

Stories of old, I smiled to the hobo

D C Em C Am

Storie of cold, I wept to the hobo

Am C G G

As he stood before my fleeting house

VERSE:

G C

No, said the hobo, no more tales of time

G C

Don't ask me now to wash a-way the grime

G C

I can't come in for it's too high a climb

Am C G

And he walked away from my lonely house

CHORUS:

D C Em C

Then you be damned I screamed to the hobo

D C Em C

Turn into stone I cried to the hobo

D C Em C

Leave me alone I knelt to the hobo

Am C G G

And he walked away from my fleeting house

OUTRO:

G C

I lit my purest candle close to my

G C

Window hoping it would catch the eye

G C

Of any vagabond who passed it by

Am C G G D C Em

And I waited in my fleeting house
