[G]
[D] It was all an empty boxcar, [G] one cold and windy day.
Beside the railroad water tank that dying hobo lay,
[F#m] he said, I'm headed for a [G] place where prospects are bright,
[A]
where cops don't hound a hobo [G] or pinch a man on sight.
[D] I tell Brooklyn [F#m] Jack, Murph [G] and Joe,
[D] just what [G] I tell you,
[D] I caught the fast freight [G] on the fly, [D] and now [G] I'm going through.
[A] I'm going to [G] that place far [A] away where the land is [G] all so sweet,
where [F#m] I [A]
don't have to see [G] the red of your blood,
cause [D] I know [G] you missed that, [D] I know you [G] missed that.
[D] And you're gone far away [G] from me, [A] and it's here where my [G] soul keeps on growing,
[A] thinking about [G] what should I do, [A] and from every mind [G] that ain't blind,
[D] you can see [G] your love grew.
[D]
[G] Come on, [D]
come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come [G] [D] [G]
[Bm] on,
I'm a people [G] that [D] sings any place, anywhere, any place, anywhere,
it's all here, [G] it's all there, [A] and it keeps on [G] moving, [A] moving,
living in truth and [G] working for the [A] right.
Ain't no [G] birds and there ain't no songs [D] in the numbers.
When the front door opens we will play some songs,
four [G] days we'll see the four days long.
[A] It [Am] travels [Em] down to the [A] 13th, the village it was [Bm] your mother's queen,
[A] and then it turns [G] into a jelly bean.
[A] I put a penny [G] in it, you know I got one [D] coming,
but you give me someone [E] that don't have a mark on [G] her head.
[D] What can I do, she's [G] play acting you, and [D] then I'm bringing back what [E] I [G] said.
[A] [G]
[D]
Green old string bean, tall tree [G] growing,
and [Em] [G] in
[F#m] [D] your child's love I [G] did see,
[D] you gave life down [G] into forever,
[D] when you took those lives [G] for me.
[E] [D] And you have [G]
won all, [D] every place that [G] you've seen,
[D]
places that [G] are beyond your dreams,
[D] things that [G] are not really things,
[F#m] but thoughts that keep [G] on drifting in my mind,
[F#m] coming back from [G] graveyards in time.
[D] I keep thinking of you [G] little green bean,
[D] string bean now you've grown up to be me,
[F#m] and you let them get you bitter and you [G] hate.
[D] I got you in the school's [G] row to think you could play,
like [D] something for their gate.
[A]
Their door was a [G] grave got on the floor,
[A] where love never [G] lived and there was never more,
[A]
but everything's happy [G] when it's happy here in my [E] dream once [D] more.
[G] I've done a pretty [D] good job,
[G]
working [C] all [D] that fusion [G] out of my mind.
[D] Now if you've done a good [G] job I can see you [N] now.
