Verse 1
D
This song is called Johnny Hathaway
by Peter Lafarge.
I'll tell you of a man,
G
D
he was a half -breed too
He knew the woods and roamed them,
Em
E
A
he was an outcast true
D
But people, they all run him off,
G
he never came around
D
G
D
And when it came to hiding,
A
D
he sure could not be found
They called him Johnny Halfbreed
G
and they made it mighty clear
D
They called him Johnny Halfbreed,
Em
A
Halfbreeds ain't welcome here
D
Mongrels ain't invited,
G
D
no curves do we allow
G
D
So listen Johnny, half -breed,
A
D
go out and get out now
Now the city that we speak of
G
was named for Galilee
D
Within a forest ocean,
E
A
a mighty sea of trees
D
G
All around in the forest, half -breed
Johnny rambled round
D
G
He knew all about the eagle
D
A
D
and where the honey could be found
Not a white man or an Indian,
G
D
no parents and no land
The trees they were his teachers
Em
E
and the animals his clan
A
D
He could converse with the otter
G
D
and he held court with the bear
G
D
They say he taught the fishes
D
when they were there
G
D
They called him Johnny Halfbreed
Em
Halfbreeds ain't welcome here
A
D
Mongols ain't invited
G
D
No curbs do we allow
G
D
So listen Johnny Halfbreed
A
D
Go out and get out now
Now in the town we speak of,
G
D
the new mayor, he had a child
A girl of six or seven,
Em
E
A
and not uncommon wild
D
Of ten she would wander,
G
and then return to home
D
G
D
Till once a flying squirrel
A
D
tempted her to roam
She followed a half a mile or more
A
G
D
until she lost the track
Panic hit her suddenly,
E
A
she knew of no way back
D
The forest turned and twisted,
G
D
all about her every way
G
And all her steps were wrong ones
A
D
when she got lost that day
They called him Johnny Halfbreed,
G
and they made it mighty clear
D
They called him Johnny Halfbreed,
E
Halfbreeds ain't welcome here
A
D
Mongrels ain't invited,
G
no curves do we allow
D
G
D
So listen, Johnny Halfbreed,
A
D
go out and get out now
When she turned up missing,
G
D
a mighty search was called
They feared that she was murdered,
E
A
and worried she was mauled
D
They tramped the woods for miles around,
G
D
and the helicopters flew
G
D
And when all that was finished,
A
D
nothing's all they knew
Some mentioned Johnny,
G
D
and some laughed it down
Some unspoke of woodcraft,
Em
A
and some said that for his clown
D
Some said, well he's just a bum,
G
D
a dirty lost half -breed
G
D
But Johnny was their one hope,
A
D
and they sent for him with steam
They call him Johnny Halfbreed,
G
and they made it mighty clear
D
They call him Johnny Halfbreed,
E
A
Halfbreeds ain't welcome here
D
Mongols ain't invited,
G
D
no courage will we allow
G
D
So listen Johnny Halfbreed,
A
D
go out and get out now
Johnny started searching
G
D
until he tracked the child
He carried her in his half -breed
E
A
arms out of the forest wild
D
He was a hero for a day,
G
they asked him to remain
D
G
They said they'd learned
A
D
that all people are the same
Johnny said,
you take your handshakes,
Ask for me by the whippoorwill,
E
A
he'll say where I'll be found.
D
I prefer to talk with wildcats,
G
D
and to hear the wild goose moan.
G
D
I'm heading back to a wilderness,
A
D
the forest is my home.
