The Pony Man (by G Lightfoot `1968). In the GL Anthology vol. I shows chords G-C-D with the note to capo up 2 frets so the key is really A.

(G)When it's midnight on the meadow and the (C) cats are in the (G)shed.

And the river tells a (C)story at the (D)window by my bed.

If you (G) listen very closely, be as (C) quiet as you (G) can.

In the yard you'll (C) hear him, It (D) is the Pony (G)Man.
