_ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ [F] There's a shanty in the town on [A] a little plot of ground
With [D] the green grass growing all around, all around
[G] The roof's so worn, [C#m] so badly torn Till it's [G] tumbled to the ground
_ Just a [C] tumble-down shack and it's built way back
About [F] twenty-five feet from [Dm] the railroad track
_ [G]
Lingers on my mind most all the time
[C] Keeps calling me back to my little old shack
[F] I'd be just a sassy, [A] as highly as a lassie [D] If I were king, wouldn't mean a thing
Put [G] my boots on tall, [C#m] read the writing on the wall
And it [G] wouldn't mean a thing, not a doggone thing
[D] There's a queen waiting there [C#] in her rocking chair
[F] Just blowing her top [D] on a can of beer
Looking [G] all around and [C] trucking on down
[Dm] So glad to get back to my [F] shanty town _
