HOBO'S LULLABY
Woody Guthrie
Arlo Guthrie sings his father's song in the YouTube below - tenderly and beautiful. The chart is in the key of D (Arlo sings it in G# - a different key but you'll hear how it goes).
Hobo's Lullaby
Woody Guthrie
D G
Go to sleep you weary hobo
A D
Let the towns drift slowly by
D G
Listen to the steel rails hummin'
A D
That's the hobo's lullaby
D G
Do not think 'bout tomorrow
A D
Let tomorrow come and go
D G
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
A D
Safe from all that wind and snow
D G
I know the police cause you trouble
A D
They cause trouble everywhere
D G
But when you die and go to Heaven
A D
You'll find no policemen there
D G
So go to sleep you weary hobo
A D
Let the towns drift slowly by
D G
Listen to the steel rails hummin'
A D
That's a hobo's lullaby
