INTRODUCTION: D - A - F#M - B7 - E
A E A
Tonight as I lay on the boxcar
D A
Just waiting for a train to pass by
D A
What will become of the hobo
B7 E
Whenever his turn comes to die
A E A
There's a Master up yonder in Heaven
D D flat
Got a place that we might call our home
D A F#M
Willl we have to work for a living
B7 E A
Or can we continue to roam
A D A
Will there be any freight trains in Heaven
D A
Any boxcars in which we might hide
D A
Will there be any tough cops or brakemen
B7 E
Will they tell us that we cannot ride
A E A
Will the hobo chum with the rich man
D D flat
Will we always have money to spare

Will they have respect for the hobo
B7 E A
In that land that lies hidden up there
