Intro

G Cmaj7 (x2)

Verse 1

[G]I lit my purest candle [Cmaj7]close to my
[G]Window, hoping it would [Cmaj7]catch the eye
[G]Of any vagabond who [Cmaj7]passed it by
[Am]And I waited in my [C]fleeting [G]house

Verse 2

[G]Before he came I felt [Cmaj7]him drawing near
[G]As he neared I felt the[Cmaj7] ancient fear
[G]That he had come to [Cmaj7]wound my door, and jeer
[Am]And I waited in my [C]fleeting [G]house

Chorus

[D]"Tell me stories," I [C]called [Em]to the [Cmaj7]Hobo;
[D]"Stories of cold," I [C]smiled [Em]at the [Cmaj7]Hobo;
[D]"Stories of old," I [C]knelt [Em]to the [Cmaj7]Hobo;
[Am]And he stood before me in my [C]fleeting [G]house

Verse 3

[G]"No," said the Hobo, [Cmaj7]"No more tales of time;
[G]Don't ask me now to [Cmaj7]wash away the grime;
[G]I can't come in 'cause [Cmaj7]it's too high a climb,"
[Am]And he walked away from my [C]fleeting [G]house

Chorus

[D]"Then you be damned!"[C] I [Em]screamed to[Cmaj7] the Hobo;
[D]"Leave me alone," I [C]wept to [Em]the [Cmaj7]Hobo;
[D]"Turn into stone," I[C] knelt[Em] to the[Cmaj7] Hobo;
[Am]And he walked away from my [C]fleeting [G]house
