Chords for Jim Ringer - Tramps and Hawkers

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
I choose to see not [B] the things [A] that be
Or the [B] miles and the years that are [E] gone
_ _ I pay no heed to _
[A] _ tomorrow's [E] needs
I'm blind from the snow and the [A] sun
_ _ _ Till [E] all I can see is my [A] _
darlin' and me
Like young flowers bloomin' in [A]
spring
_ _ Like [E]
flowers we grew [B] and no other I [A] knew
But the [Em]
roses, the [A] sand, the [E] walking
_ The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ gypsies will dance while stealing a [A] glance
At a [E] seed [A] that might blow in the [E] wind
_ _ And the fields are worked in a sweat-stained shirt
Till the workers move on again _
_ _ [E] And the tramps and hawkers [A] with _ stories [E] wild
_ Beguile the young [A] men's dreams
_ _ _ [E] _ Enticing me [B] to leave my [A] love
[E] The roses, [A] the sand, [E] the walking _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I've watched the rise [B] of light in [A] the sky
[E] Where the sun climbs out of the sea
_ _ Seen _ giants fall [A] in the mountains [E] tall
Where the _ lumbermen cut [A] down trees _
_ I've [E] played in the sand with [A] the Gulf [E] Coast wind
And I've slept in the grass tall [A] and clean
But _ _ [E] nowhere I've been [B] would I go to [A] again
Except [E] back to [A] the sand walking _ _
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ road back home [B] is hard and it's [A] long
[E] And the miles [A] stretch on into [E] years _
_ _ And the tramps and hawkers [A] in _ every [E] town
Oh God, but it brings me [A] to tears
When _ [E] I got home I found [A] just a flower on a [E] mound
Where it shamed the green grasses [A] of spring _
And [E] it grew from the grave of my darling [A] little girl
[E] The roses, [A] the sand, the [E] walking _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh see us today _ [B] out on your [A] highways
Or [E] asleep in [A] the doors of a [E] train _
_ See the _ gypsies dance with [A] their _ dandelion [E] glances
While the peddlers shout out their [A] refrain _
_ _ [E] And who's gonna care, [A] and who's gonna [E] share
All the joys and the troubles we [A] _ see
_ Like [E] ghosts we roam without friends or [A] a home
[E] These tramps [A] and hawkers and me
