Ode To John Prine chords

When I was[D] a child
My dad[G]dy would sing [A]

Illegal smile
As he pluc[D]ked on the strings

He sin[D]g me to sleep
And I'd [G]sing along [D]

I'd dream of space monkeys
[A]And hobo songs[D]

Now I've never met
Anyone called Sabu
And I've never doubted
If John's words were true

He's told me the stories
Of one red rose
I'm killing the blues
God only knows

Just pull through this Johnny
This isn't right
Don't leave us now
Don't give up the fight

So hop on the new train
When your day is done
You'll fish and you'll whistle
With Billy the bum

You'll see many long Mondays
And more summer's ends
You'll be the torch singer
And take sweet revenge

Iron ore Betty
Knows only love will do
So do Donald and Lydia
And safety Joe too

The sleepy eyed boy
Wants to turn back the years
Take the slow boat to China
And collect souvenirs

Listen here Johnny
Stay crazy as a loon
You ain't hurting nobody
With clocks and spoons

So pull through this Johnny
This isn't right
Don't leave us now
Don't give up the fight

Hop on that new train
When your day is done
You'll fish and you'll whistle
With Billy the bum

You'll see many long Mondays
And more summer's ends
You'll be the torch singer
And take sweet revenge
