Hobo s Lullaby chords
Arlo Guthrie (Goebel Reeves) to the tune of Just Before The Battle Mother by George F. Root 1862
Capo I *
G C 2x
G C
Go to sleep you weary hobo
D G
Let the towns drift slowly by
G C
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
D G
That's a hobo's lullaby
G C
Do not think about tomorrow
D G
Let tomorrow come and go
G C
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
D G
Safe from all the wind and snow
G C
I know the police cause you trouble
D G
They cause trouble everywhere
G C
But when you die and go to heaven
D G
You won't find no policemen there
G C
I know your clothes are torn and ragged
D G
And your hair is turning grey
G C
Lift your head and smile at trouble
D G
You'll find happiness some day
G C
So go to sleep you weary hobo
D G
Let the towns drift slowly by
G C
Don't you feel the steel rail humming
D G
That's a hobo's lullaby
