Verse 1
(D major) How have you been, my darling children
While I have been away in the
West?
Though you are strangers
(C major) I (D major) feel like I know you
By the (G major) way that you treat me and offered to feed
me and eagerly ask if I'll (D major) stay for a rest (A major)
Now sit (D major) yourselves down
(C major) in (D major) a pile here before me
I wish I had present (C major) s for
(G major) each of your smiles (D major)
But I have been trav (C major) eling
without (D major) much to carry
Just a (G major) broken guitar case
with tape on the side
A bag and a few signs to
(D major) help me get right (A major)
But here (D major) are some beads (C major) from (D major)
the (G major) throat of (D major) a princess
Who reigned in the years (C major) round 200 (D major)
(G major) B .C. (D major)
Divide them and wear (C major) them and
(G major) make sure to (D major) share them
Cause I (G major) want you to have them in hopes that you'll
be as lovely as the lady who gave (D major) them to me (A major)
And here (D major) is a strange (C major)
European (G major) gui (D major) tar string I found
on the floor (C major) of a (G major) club in
Marseille (D major)
It's fat for the (C major) third string and
(G major) skinny for the (D major) fourth string
But I (G major) kept it in hopes that
I'd use it someday
It's funny how people just
keep (D major) things that way (A major)
And here (D major) is a turtle (C major) from (G major) the
Long
Island
Express (D major) way
He says that his home (C major) has
been covered (G major) with tar (D major)
So I gave him a ride (C major) on the
(G major) back of my (D major) suitcase
And he (G major) says that he'd like
to stay here in your yard
At long last his life won't
be quite (D major) so hard (A major)
How (D major) have you (C major) been, my darling (G major) children (D major)
While I have (C major) been away (G major) in the (D major) west
Though you are strangers, (C major)
I (G major) feel like I (D major) know you
By the (G major) way that you treat me
and offer to feed me
And eagerly ask if I'll (D major) stay for rest
By the (G major) way that you treat me
and offer to feed me
And eagerly ask if I'll (D major) stay for rest
