                A 
1.A long time ago 
                   D 
  No shoes on my feet 
                                E 
  I walked ten miles of train track 
                         A 
  To hear Hank Williams sing  (follow the same progression throughout) 
 
  His body was worn 
  But his spirit was free 
  And he sang every song 
  Looking right straight at me 
 
C1.Just a tramp on your street 
  You must understand 
  You got my soul at your feet 
  And my heart in your hand 
 
2.No I don't have to pick 
  And I don't have to choose 
  I don't have to win  
  And I don't have to lose 
   
  And if I make any pay 
  I just throw it away 
  I don't count on tomorrow 
  I just live for today 
 
C. 
C2.Still you opened yourself 
  And you held me inside 
  You made a stray dog like me 
  Feel welcome tonight 
C.

  I'm just a tramp on your street
