Ghost of the Hobo Cry Terrance James Aziere
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 Em
Campfire in the evening, Tin can cook my grub
Fmaj7 Em
The stars that used to guide me have fallen from the sky
G7 C
Now the cars on the Cottonbelt Line are my home
[Verse 1]
Bm Em G
The sun was shinin brightly on the ocean of the trainyard rails
D G
And I dreamed about a girl on the other side
Bm Em G
She had a home and a fam-ily, a place in the local society
Dm7 C G
And all I had was the desolation and the Ghost of the Hobo Cry
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Now there's a westbound comin from Caroline
Em G
Gonna carry me down the line
D G
You know I hate to leave that girl behind
Bm
But she's a Lady and I'm a tramp
Em G
I got holes in my head and my shoes and my pants with nothin
Dm7 C G
More to offer than the desolation and the ghost of the Hobo cry
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 Em
Campfire in the evening, Tin can cook my grub
Fmaj7 Em
The stars that used to guide me have fallen from the sky
G7 C
Now the cars on the Cottonbelt Line are my home.
