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 GC F Fm6Ab

Then the fire went out and the night grew still

Am Em Em7 Ebm7 Dm7 G7

This old man lay frozen on the cold, cold ground

C GC F Fm6Ab

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 GC F Fm6Ab

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 GC F Fm6Ab

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 AD

Man goes nowhere

G Gm6Bb

Ev'rything comes like tomorrow

Bm F
