C            G7       C 
Tonight as I lay on a boxcar  

F                                C 
Just waiting for a train to pass by 

F                       C 
What will become of the hobo 
  
D7                          G7 
Whenever that time comes to die 

  
C                 G7        C 
Has the Master up yonder in heaven  

F                                  C 
Got a place that we might call our home 

F                          C 
Will we have to work for a living  

D7        G7          C 
Or can we continue to roam 

  
                  G7                C 
Will there be any freight trains in heaven  

F                             C 
Any boxcars in which we might hide 

F                                C 
Will there be any tough cops and brakemen  

D7                          G7 
Will they tell us we cannot ride 

  
C             G7                 C 
Will the hobo chum with the rich man 
  
F                            E7 
Will we always have money to spare 

F                            C 
Will they have respect for a hobo  

                 G7             C 
In the land that lies hidden up there 

  
                  G7                C 
Will there be any freight trains in heaven  

F                             C 
Any boxcars in which we might hide 

F                                C 
Will there be any tough cops and brakemen 
  
D7                          G7 
Will they tell us we cannot ride 

  
C             G7                 C 
Will the hobo chum with the rich man  

F                            E7 
Will we always have money to spare 

F                            C 
Will they have respect for a hobo  

                 G7             C 
In the land that lies hidden up there
