I was watching Craig at a concert and on a video on you tube
He plays it without a capo and he doesn't use The B chord.
Instead He uses an Em Chord. I haven't seen any tabs for this
song that have it with the Em so I thought I'd post it.
Its tuned up to G#. I don't like re-tuning my guitar so I just
use the capo on the first fret with standard tuning.

C
He had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes
C
He was covered with the evening news
G D G
Had a pair of wool socks on his hands
C
The bank sign was flashing five below
C
It was freezin' rain and spittin' snow
G D G
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
:Bridge:
Em C
I was afraid that he was dead, I gave him a gentle shake
Em C D
When he opened up his eyes I said, Old man are you ok, He said
(Chorus)
C
I just climbed out of the cotton wood tree
C G
I was running from some honey bees
G C
Drip-drying in the summer breeze
C D
After jumpin' into Calico Creek
D C
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
C G
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Em C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D G
Cause I was almost home

C
Then he said, I was just comin' round the barn,
C
Bout the time you grabbed my arm
G D G
I heard momma holler son hurry up
C
I was close enough for my own nose
C
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
G D G
I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
:Bridge:
Em C
Cane poles on the tailgate, bobbers blowin' in the wind
Em C D
Since July of 55, that's as close as I've been,
(Chorus)
Yea
D C
I just climbed out of the cotton wood tree
C G
I was running from some honey bees
G C
Drip-drying in the summer breeze
C D
After jumpin' into Calico Creek
D C
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
C G
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Em C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D G
Cause I was almost home
Em
I said old man you're gonna freeze to death,
C
Let me drive you to the mission
Em
He said boy if you'd left me alone
C D2 D
Right now I'd be fishin'
(Chorus)
D C
I just climbed out of the cotton wood tree
C G
I was running from some honey bees
G C
Drip-drying in the summer breeze
C D
After jumpin' into Calico Creek
D C
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
C G
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Em C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D G
Cause I was almost home
Em C D
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D G
I was almost home

Good song thanks for the tab. -ledouxit | 1/16/2009 | I seen that video too. Or one of them. I liked the way you added that little riff in the middle of the song. Thnx for that. I havent seen anyone else put that in their tabs for this song yet, and the Em really sounds better instead of the B chord. That's just my opinion. Your doing great work. Keep it up! -guitarplaya64 | 1/24/2009 | B7 C I was afraid that he was dead, I gave him a gentle shake B7 C D When he opened up his eyes I said, Old man are you ok, He said..................................there ya go, thats the right way
