Intro:
G# C#maj7 x2
Verse 1:
G# C#maj7
I lit my purest candle close to my
G# C#maj7
window hoping it would catch the eye
G# C#maj7
of any vagabond who passed it by
A#m C# G#
and I waited in my fleeting house
Verse 2:
G# C#maj7
Before he came I felt him drawing near
G# C#maj7
as he neared I felt the ancient fear
G# C#maj7
that he had come to wound my door and jeer
A#m C# G#
and I waited in my fleeting house
Chorus 1:
D# C# Fm
Tell me stories I called to the hobo
D# C# Fm
stories of cold I smiled at the hobo
D# C# Fm
stories of old I knelt to the hobo
A#m C# G#
and he stood before me in my fleeting house
Verse 3:
G# C#maj7
No said the hobo no more tales of time
G# C#maj7
don't ask me now to wash away the grime
G# C#maj7
I can't come in 'cause it's too high a climb
A#m C# G#
and he walked away from my fleeting house
Chorus 2:
D# C# Fm C#maj7
Then you be damned I screamed to the hobo
D# C# Fm C#maj7
leave me alone I wept to the hobo
D# C# Fm C#maj7
turn into stone I knelt to the hobo
A#m C# G#
and he walked away from my fleeting house
Ending:
D# C# Fm C#maj7
