bluerabbit10 Lyr Req: Nobody Knows What You Do (John Hartford) (5) Lyr Add: NOBODY KNOWS WHAT YOU DO (John Hartford) 10 Oct 08


Here's what I came up with listening to "Nobody Knows What You Do" from John Hartford's album of the same name. Flying Fish Label 1976.

I have an mp3 put up on www.country tabs...it is pretty rough, but enough to give an idea of how it sounds...v.g.

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT YOU DO

And roll your eyes?, nobody knows but you

Nobody comes to hang around
Nobody dares to put you down
Say its true, nobody knows but you

Nobody else comes around
Nobody knows what you do

Nobody knows what you see
When you go down on your knees
Roll your eyes, nobody knows but you.

Chorus: Octave lower than started with.
