The Vagabond

            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                  
I'm just a couple years out the 
      Gm
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 
Fragrance of the road is my 
    D
cologne

        G
Maybe I get some sun, maybe get a 
ride
         C
I don't worry none let destiny 
decide
D                            C   
Life's laid back when you're 
          Em C
totally alone
                 D                 
Life's laid back when you're on 
  G
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 
The promise of whiskey at the end
        Em
 of the day
            C        G          
I'm just a vagabond looking for a 
   D         G
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
Continues after the ad
  D             C                 
Hoping that a car will soon appear
  G D


         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             
It reminds me of a woman who's 
       G D
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                      
I start feeling the feeling, the 
    C                G  D
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              
The promise of whiskey at the 
Bm        Em
end of the day
  C                   G         
And the tolerance to drink all my 
   B        Em
memories away
            C           D         
I'm just a vagabond looking for a 
       G
place to stay

Oh, yeah!

Hey!

Stop!
C
Woah!

Fuck!

[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          
A fumes and blooms of daisies 
       Gm   D
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          
Where every man's a vulture fit to
  Gm   D
 feed

           Gm
Yeah, well fleeing ain't a problem 
for me
             Cm
'Cuz if you get me down then I 
guarantee
      D                  Cm       
I'll up and leave and I never will
      Gm D
 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           
Of every bridge I use and then I 
   Gm    Dm
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    
Is what sends me to through desert
       Gm  D
 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 
The promise of shelter at the end
        Em
 of the day
          C                G
From the places where the bad 
           B          Em
bastards swarm and pray
            C          G       
With every bone in my body wanna 
   B       Em
hear you say
            C          G     
That this vagabond can put his 
           B      Em
walking shoes away

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