[Chorus]
G                       Am     
  Go to sleep you weary hobo
D                          G    G
Let the towns drift slowly by
G                              Am         Am7
  Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?
D                      G    C/G  C
That's the hobo's lullaby

[Verse 1]
  G                               Am7      
I know, your clothes are torn and ragged
D                        G      
And your hair is turnin' grey
G                               Am     Am7
But lift your head and smile at trouble
D                             G       C/G  C
You'll find peace and rest so-omeday

[Verse 2]
G                        Am   Am7
 Don't you worry about tomorrow
D                     G
Let tomorrow come and go
G                            Am    Am7
 Tonight your in a nice warm boxca-ar
D                           G     C/G
Safe from all that wind and snow

[Verse 3]
      G                         Am7        
But I know the police cause you trouble
D                       G      
They cause trouble everywhere
             G7         Am7         
But when you die and go to heaven
D                        G      C
You'll find no policemen there

[Chorus]
G                         Am  Am7
So, go to sleep you weary hobo
D                           G   C  G
Let, the towns drift slowly by
                              Am     Am7
Can't you hear the steel rail hummin'?
D                       G   C  G
That's the hobo's lullaby

[Outro]
                            Am7          
Can't you hear the steel rail hummin'?
D                    G      C  G
That's the hobo's lullaby
