[Intro]
| G | C G | G | C G |

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

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

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

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

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

[End]
Am
Can't you hear the steel rail hummin'?
D G C G
That's the hobo's lul-la-by
