Ode To John Prine
DGDA DGAD X2
When I wasD a child
My dadGdy would sing A
Illegal smile
As he plucDked on the strings
He sinDg me to sleep
And I'd Gsing along D
I'd dream of space monkeys
AAnd hobo songsD
Now I've never met
Anyone called Sabu
And I've never doubted
If John's words were true
He's told me the stories
Of one red rose
I'm killing the blues
God only knows
Just pull through this Johnny
This isn't right
Don't leave us now
Don't give up the fight
So hop on the new train
When your day is done
You'll fish and you'll whistle
With Billy the bum
You'll see many long Mondays
And more summer's ends
You'll be the torch singer
And take sweet revenge
Iron ore Betty
Knows only love will do
So do Donald and Lydia
And safety Joe too
The sleepy eyed boy
Wants to turn back the years
Take the slow boat to China
And collect souvenirs
Listen here Johnny
Stay crazy as a loon
You ain't hurting nobody
With clocks and spoons
So pull through this Johnny
This isn't right
Don't leave us now
Don't give up the fight
Hop on that new train
When your day is done
You'll fish and you'll whistle
With Billy the bum
You'll see many long Mondays
And more summer's ends
You'll be the torch singer
And take sweet revenge
