Album version

Capo 3rd fret (original key Eb major).

There seems to be a continuous G somewhere in the F chord of the second last line. (I’ve been walking…)

Intro, interlude 1 and verse:

|: C   Csus4  C  Csus4 :|

        C            Am
Oh, the ragman draws circles
C                   Am
Up and down the block.
    C                Am
I'd ask him what the matter was
      F                  G
But I know that he don't talk.
        F               C
And the ladies treat me kindly
    Am              C
And furnish me with tape,
    Am             C
But deep inside my heart
  F             C
I know I can't escape.
