Start Jamming...
[C] Riding on a eastbound freight train, [F] speeding through the [C] night.
[F] Hobo Bill, [C] the railroad man, [D] was fighting for [G] his life.
[Cm] The [C] sadness of his eyes [Gm] revealed [E] [F] the torture of his [C] soul.
[F] He raised a weak [C] and weary hand [G] to brush away the [C] cold.
[F] [Cm] [C]
Hey ho, [G] [Gm] hobo,
[C] no warm lights flickered [Gm] around him, [E] [F] no blankets there [C] to hold.
[F] Nothing but the [C] howling wind and [Bm] the driving rain so [G] cold
[B] When [C] I heard a whistle blowing [F] in a dreamy kind [C] of way
[F] The hobo seemed [C] contented for [G] he smiled there where he [C] lay
Eee-ho [G]-ho-ho-bo [C]-bo-bee Pick one
[F] [Ab] [C] Outside [F] [C]
[D] [Bm] [C] [F]
[C] the rain was falling [F] on a lonely [C] boxcar door
[F] But the little farm [C] of Bobo Bill [D] lay dead [A] upon [G] the floor
And [C] there was no [G] [C] mother's longing [Gm] [C]
[F] to soothe his weary [C] soul
For [F] he was just [C] a hobo and he [G] died out in the [C] cold
Eee-ho-ho [G]-ho-bo-bo [C]-bee
