The Wainwright Sisters - Hobo's Lullaby
[Verse 1]
C Em F
Go to sleep you weary hobo
G C
Let the towns drift slowly by
Em F
Can't you hear the steel rails humming
G C G/B Am Dm G C
That's the hobo's lullaby
[Verse 2]
Em F
I know your clothes are torn and ragged
G C
And your hair is turning grey
Em F
Lift your head and smile at trouble
G C G/B Am Dm G C
You'll find peace and rest someday
[Verse 3]
G/B F
Now don't you worry 'bout tomorrow
G C
Let tomorrow come and go
G/B F
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
G C G/B Am Dm G C
Safe from all that wind and snow______
[Verse 4]
Em F
I know the police cause you trouble
G C
They cause trouble everywhere
Em F
But when you die and go to heaven
G C G/B Am Dm G C
You'll find no policemen there
[Verse 5]
Em F
So go to sleep you weary hobo
G C
Let the towns drift slowly by
Em F
Listen to the steel rails humming
G C
That's a hobo's lullaby
Em F
Listen to the steel rails humming
G C
That's a hobo's lullaby
[Outro]
G/B Am Dm G C
