Lynyrd Skynyrd - Railroad Song: chords

G
I jumped off a boxcar down around Tennessee
I was cold tired and dirty hungry as I could be
C
But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs
G
So I asked the policeman
Can I stay here long
       A        C
He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now
D
We don't want you around
C
See I'm trying to build a respectable town
                                    G
And we don't need a hobo like you around

So I left that town, Lord with my guitar in my hand
Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man
But this life that I chose to live, sometime's strange
See I'm trying to learn about the old music from riding the train
I'm a hobo I know, but that's the price I pay
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say
Mr. Choo-choo train take me away

I'm going to ride this train Lord until I find out
What Jimmie Rogers and the Hag was all about
See I play this rock n roll and I think that's fine
But I want to go back a little further in time
I'm a hobo I know but that's the price I pay
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say
Mr. Choo-choo train take me away
