Standard (EADGBE)

 I pounded on a farmhouse Lookin' for a place to stay

I was mighty, mighty tired, I had come a long, long way

 I said, "Hey, hey, in there Is there anybody home ?

 I was standin' on the steps, Feelin' most alone

 Well, out comes a farmer He must have thought that I was nuts

 He immediately looked at me and stuck a gun into my guts
