Strum
D-DU-UDU
  Fallen  down
 He’s too weary
 Can’t get up
  His eyes  are blurry
  Chinatown
  He just fades away
  He’s drunk up 1/2 his weight in sherry
  Swallowed the apothecary
  Whispering a farewell lullaby
  I’ve seen  enough in my  old life
  Just send an airmail to my wife
  Tell her her hobo’s gone and died
  And that my world is looking wide

  He came to town
  37 years ago
  His hair was long
  His eyes were blue
  He lived down by the sea
  Head full of poetry
  Rock & roll and galleries
  Nickel bags and happenings
  The fall of ’63
  I’ve seen enough in my old life
  The years rolled by
  3rd & Broadway caught his eye
  Black tar, speed and china white
  Took it all away
  Left him in ragged clothes
  Cardboard boxes for a home
  An old man when he should be young
  Trashing through the day

[Am]Fallen down
[F] He’s too weary
[G] Can’t get up
 His [Em]eyes are blurry
 Chinatown
 He just fades away
 He’s drunk up 1/2 his weight in sherry
 Swallowed the apothecary
 Whispering a farewell lullaby

 I’ve [Am]seen enough in [F]my old [G]life [Em]
 Just send an airmail to my wife
 Tell her her hobo’s gone and died
 And that my world is looking wide

 Cardboard boxes for a home
 An old man when he should be young
