Band The Hobo Jungle Lyrics

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 cold, cold 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
