Hobo Jungle lyrics

C g f fm6
There was a chill that night in the hobo jungle
Am em7 ebm7 dm7 g7
Over the train yard lay a smooth coat of frost
C g f fm6
And although nobody here really knows where they're goin'
Am em7 dm7 f g7 c
At the very same time nobody's lost

C g/c f fm6/ab
Then the fire went out and the night grew still
Am em em7 ebm7 dm7 g7
This old man lay frozen on the coldcold ground
C g/c f fm6/ab
He was a stray bird and the road was his callin'
Am em7 dm7
Ridin' the rods
G7 f c
Sleepin' under the stars
Am em7 dm7 f g7 c
Playin' the odds from a rollin' box car

C g/c f fm6/ab
She attended the fun'ral in the hobo jungle
Am em em7 ebm7 dm7 g7
Long were they lovers though never could they wed
C g/c f fm6/ab
Drifters and rounders and distant friends
Am em7 dm7
Here I lie without anger or regret
F g7 c
I'm in no one's debt

D a/d
Man goes nowhere
G gm6/bb
Ev'rything comes like tomorrow
Bm f#m f#m7 fm7 em7 a7
But she took that last ride there by his side
D a/d g gm6/bb
He spent his whole life pursuing the horizon
Bm f#m7 em7
Ridin' the rods
A7 g d
Sleepin' under the stars
Bm f#m7 em7 g a7 d
Playin' the odds from a rollin' box car
