For all the Arlo's fans,
Here's that old Arlo's song (1968), as I heard it, and transcribed long
time ago (1978).
Any corrections would be appreciated

Verse
Am           Fmaj7
In the candle,  Lights burn away
Am            E7
Leaving nothing Except the day
Am      F
Just to blow    Your mind away
Am      Fmaj7
Coming thus, This daily change
Am       E7
Sit and pose    The very strange
   Am      F
He sits and hums Home on the Range
Am   E7    Am
And just wouldn't you believe it


Now the hallway, now the doors
Locking out you death-like chores
Locking in what's left to score
Coming thus, this daily thougt
Heroes have so long been taught
Buying what cannot be bought
And just wouldn't you believe it

Like before, my time has gone
Here's wishing I could carry on
But I'm being called up into the dawn
Coming thus, this daily freak
Try to come again next week
When I strive to climb the peak
And just wouldn't you believe it
