[D] [Bm] [E] [A]
Old John Robinson [D] he wore a [A] stepson hat
People [D] everywhere would laugh [E] behind his back
[A] [D] No one [A] cared to [F#m] take any time [E] to find out
What he was all [D] about, but fear kept [E] him out
[A] Children laughing, [D] playing, [G] didn't [A] know his name
They could tell when he [D] was coming [E] just the same
[A] [D] Walking slow [A] with old Jolie's [F#m] crippled [G] wife [E] by his side
[D] Then she sighed, [E] then she died
[A] Magic [D]
[E] [F#m]
[E] [D] [A] [D] [A]
words from him [D] [A] entrancing children's ears
But their laughter [D] didn't help to hide [E] his tears
[A] All [D] it made was [A] no game [F#m] for he'd [Bm] lost [E] an old friend
[D] In the end, [E] in the end
[A] Old John Robinson [D] he wore a [A] stepson hat
People [D] everywhere would laugh [E] behind his back
[A] No [D] one cared [A] to [F#m] take any time [Bm] to [E] find out
