Chords

[Verse]
G
I jumped off a boxcar down around Tennessee

G
I was cold tired and dirty hungry as I could be

C
But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs

G
So I asked the policeman

G
Can I stay here long

A           G               C
He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now

D                 G
We don't want you around

C
See I'm trying to build a respectable town

C                                  G
And we don't need a hobo like you around

G
So I left that town, Lord with my guitar in my hand

G                      G
Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man

G         C
But this life that I chose to live, sometime's strange

G
See I'm trying to learn about the old music from riding the train

A     C            D
I'm a hobo I know, but that's the price I pay

C
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way

C
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say

G   
Mr. Choo-choo train take me away

G
I'm going to ride this train Lord until I find out

G
What Jimmie Rogers and the Hag was all about

C
See I play this rock n roll and I think that's fine

G
But I want to go back a little further in time

A     G      C                           G
I'm a hobo I know but that's the price I pay

C
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way

C
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say

G                           C
Mr. Choo-choo train take me away
