C Em+ Am7 C/G (x2)
Dm Things I learned in a hobo jungle, G C Were things they never taught me in a classroom. Dm Like where to find a handout, G C Em+ Am7 C/G While bummin' through Chicago in the afternoon. C7 Hey, I'm not braggin' nor complainin', F Am+ Dm Just talking to myself man to man. G Dm G This old mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot of doin', Dm G C Em+ Am7 C/G I take a lot of pride in what I am. Dm I guess I grew up a loner, G C Em+ Am7 C/G I don't remember ever havin' any folks around. Dm I keep thumbin' through the phone books, G C Em+ Am7 C/G And lookin' for my Daddy's name in every town. C7 I meet lots of friendly people, F Am+ Dm But I always end up leavin' on the lam. G Dm G Hey, where I've been and where I'm goin' didn't take a lot of knowin', Dm G C Em+ Am7 C/G But I take a lot of pride in what I am. Dm Never travel in a hurry, G C Em+ Am7 C/G 'Cause I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere. Dm Home is anywhere I'm livin', G C Em+ Am7 C/G If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square. C7 Or if I'm workin' on some road gang, F Am+ Dm Or just livin' off the fat of our great land. G Dm G I never been nobodys idol, but at least I got a title, Dm G C Em+ Am7 C/G I take a lot of pride in what I am. Dm G Dm C I never been nobodys idol, but at least I got a title, Dm G C Em+ Am7 C/G And I take a lot of pride in what I am. Dm G C Em+ Am7 C/G I take a lot of pride in what I am. Dm G C Em+ Am7 C/G I take a lot of pride in what I am.
