Chris Hillman – New Old John Robertson (Guitar)

G                     C              G
Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat

G                             D
People passing by would never look back

G          C                G            D
Long white hair bright blue eyes shining through

D        C                   G
As if he knew, and he always knew

G                         C               G
Children laughing playing didn't know his name

G                           C               D
They could tell that he was coming just the same

G       C                    G                    D
Walking slow with old John's crippled wife by his side

D        C                G
Then she sighed, then she died

G                        C    G       D
As a younger man he wore many hats so well

G                                 C               D
In the early days of Hollywood so many stories to tell

D   G          D         C      A
And after many years his legacy remains

G                              C            G
Settled down in the country in Rancho Santa Fe

G                    C                    G
Magic words from him caressing children's ears

G                            C             D
And their laughter helped to hide away his tears

G      D              G             Am          D
All in vain it was no game for he'd lost an old friend

C                  D
In the end, in the end

G                     C              G
Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat

G                       C                D
People everywhere would laugh behind his back

G      C                 G            D
No one cared to take any time to find out

D               C
What he was all about
