Biography:
John Cowan Hartford (December 30, 1937– June 4, 2001) was an American country and bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics, unique vocal style, and extensive knowledge of Mississippi River lore. Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song.

D G D
Someday, baby, when I am a man,

and other's have taught me
D A
the best that they can
D G
they'll sell me a suit

and cut off my hair
G D
and send me to work in tall buildings
G D
and it's goodbye to the sunshine
G D
goodbye to the dew
D A
goodbye to the flowers

going to work in tall buildings
G D
now when I retire
G D
and my life is my own

I made all the payments
D G
it's time to go home

and wonder what happened

and goodbye to you
