Chords

[Intro] | G | C G | G | C G | [Chorus]
G                       Am     
  Go to sleep you weary hobo

D                          G   C  G  
Let the towns drift slowly by

                               Am         
Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?

D                      G    C  G
That's the hobo's lullaby
[Verse 1]
  G                               Am      
I know, your clothes are torn and ragged

D                        G      
And your hair is turnin' grey

    G                           Am     
But lift your head and smile at trouble

D                              G    C  G
You'll find peace and rest someday
[Verse 2]
G                        Am   
 Don't you worry about tomorrow

D                     G
Let tomorrow come and go

G                              Am    
Tonight your in a nice warm boxcar

D                           G     C  G
Safe from all that wind and snow
[Verse 3]
      G                         Am        
But I know the police cause you trouble

D                       G      
They cause trouble everywhere

             G7            Am         
But when you die and go to heaven

D                        G      C  G
You'll find no policemen there
[Chorus]
    G                     Am  
So, go to sleep you weary hobo

D                           G   C  G
Let, the towns drift slowly by

                              Am     
Can't you hear the steel rail hummin'?

D                      G   C  G
That's the hobo's lullaby
[End]
                              Am         
Can't you hear the steel rail hummin'?

D                     G      C  G
That's the hobo's lul-la-by
