The Song Words With Easy Guitar Chords In D Major Key
[D]One night it was dark and it was storming when along came a tramp in the[A] rain
He was[D] making his way to some[G] station to[A] catch a long distance[D] train
[D]May I sleep in you'r barn tonight mister,
It's cold lying out on the [A]ground
And the [D]cold north wind is [G]whistling and [A]I have no place to lie [D]down
[D]Now I have no tobacco nor matches and I'm sure I can cause you no [A]harm
I will [D]tell you my story kind [G]Mister for it [A]runs through my heart like a[D] storm
It [D]was three years ago just last summer I shall never forget that sad [A]day
When a [D]stranger came out from the [G]city and [A]said that he wanted to [D]stay
Now the stranger was fair tall and handsome and he looked like a man who had wealth
And he wanted to stay in the country said he wanted to stop for his health
One night as I came from my workshop I was whistling and singing with joy
I expected a kind hearty welcome from my sweet loving wife and my boy
But what did I find but a letter it was placed in my room on the stand
And the moment my eyes fell upon it I picked it right up in my hand
Now this note said my wife and the stranger had left and had taken my son
Oh I wonder if God up in heaven only knows what this stranger has done
May I sleep in your barn Mister it is cold lying out on the ground
And the cold north wind is a whistling and I have no place to lie
