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
