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                        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

 G
Oh, yeah!

Hey!

Stop!
C
Woah!
D
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                 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
