Start Jamming...
Go to sleep you [Ab] weary hobo
[Bb] Let the towns drift slowly [Ebm] boy
Can't you hear the steel [Abm] rails humming
[Bb] That's a hobo's [Eb] lover
Do not think [Ab] about tomorrow
[Ebm] Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice [E] warm boxcar
[Bb] Safe from all the wind and snow
So go to sleep you [Ab] weary hobo
