The Vagabond

	  		verse 1 
            G 
I'm wearin' two pair of underwear 
      C 
Some worn out kicks, and my mangy hair 
       D             C 
Could formerly be referred to 
    D     D7 
As blonde 

            G                        Gm 
I'm just a couple years out the clink 
               C 
And I'll take showers in your kitchen sink 
  D                        C 
I guess I'm what you'd call 
      Em    C 
A vagabond 

                           D 
I guess I'm what you'd call 
      G 
A vagabond 

Gm C C7* D 
C  G D 
       Gm 
I been walking the highway for a while 
        C 
On my shoulder is a satchel, on my face a smile 
D                 C           G     D 
Fragrance of the road is my cologne 

        G 
Maybe I get some sun, maybe get a ride 
         C 
I don't worry none let destiny decide 
D                            C             Em C 
Life's laid back when you're totally alone 
                 D                   G 
Life's laid back when you're on your own 


Chorus 
       B 
See I don't have much, don't have much baby 
 Em 
Don't want much, don't want much baby 
 C#                           A 
Don't need much, need much 'cept baby 

     C           G             B         Em 
The promise of whiskey at the end of the day 
            C        G             D         G 
I'm just a vagabond looking for a place to stay

verse 2 
  G                     Gm 
See I walk and walk and walk some more 
       C 
I'm a green grass high and a little sore 
  D             C                   G D 
Hoping that a car will soon appear 

         G 
I stick out my thumb and I let it linger 
        C 
And my eye kinda travels to the ring on my finger 

D                  C                    G D 
It reminds me of a woman who's not here 

G 
And my chest starts hurting, that's just cuz' of the heat 
             C 
And for the first time in days, I start feeling my feet 
         D                          C                G  D 
I start feeling the feeling, the journey's crushing me 

 G 
Cool it man, just get it out of your head 
             C 
Where's the car, where's the car, this road is fuckin' dead 
    D 
But I don't worry, just repeat instead 


Chorus 
 B7 
That I don't have much, don't have much baby 
 Em 
Don't want much, don't want much baby 
  E                   Am 
Don't need much, need much 'cept baby 

  C              G              Bm        Em 
The promise of whiskey at the end of the day 
  C                   G            B        Em 
And the tolerance to drink all my memories away 
            C           D                G 
I'm just a vagabond looking for a place to stay 
C D G 
 G 
Oh, yeah! 
 C7   D7 C G 
Hey! 
G7 
Stop! 
C 
Woah! 
D 
Fuck! 
C G Dm 

verse 3 
             Gm 
I've been to three states and as many days 
        Cm 
And my head's been baking in a blaze 
   D                   C                 Gm   D 
A fumes and blooms of daisies choked by weeds 

         Gm 
I looked into the eyes of a roadkill deer 
        Cm 
And he sort of told me run away from here 
         D            Cm            Gm   D 
Where every man's a vulture fit to feed 

           Gm 
Yeah, well fleeing ain't a problem for me 
             Cm 
'Cuz if you get me down then I guarantee 
      D                  Cm             Gm D 
I'll up and leave and I never will return 

            Gm 
Yeah, I'll break your heart, I'll break your back 
         Cm 
I won't lose no sleep, shit I can't keep track 
   D               C              Gm    Dm 
Of every bridge I use and then I burn 

          Gm 
And the night's impending and the doom is too 
          Cm 
And the thought of what I'd done to you 
         D                  Cm           Gm  D 
Is what sends me to through desert and beyond 

      Gm 
Oh, stop stop please, I'm up for a trade 
             Cm 
Just take me far away from mistakes I made 

      Dm             Cm 
And gimme some release 
  D               Cm 
Help me sleep in peace 
       D          Cm         Gm 
Take pity on the broken vagabond 


Chorus 
            B 
You see I don't have much, don't have much baby 
   Em 
I don't want much, don't want much baby 

I don't need much, need much cept' baby 

      C           G            B         Em 
The promise of shelter at the end of the day 
          C                G           B          Em 
From the places where the bad bastards swarm and pray 
            C          G          B       Em 
With every bone in my body wanna hear you say 
            C          G                B      Em 
That this vagabond can put his walking shoes away 

            C       D 
I'm just a vagabond looking for a place to stay
