[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, out of [C]Southern Illi[G]nois
come a [Am]down home country [F]boy
He's gonna [C]make it in the city
playin' [G]guitar in the [F]studio[C]
Oh well, he hadn't been there an [G]hour,
when he [Am]met a Broadway f[F]lower
You know she [C]took him for his money
and she [G]left him in a cheap ho[F]tel[C]

[Verse 2]
Oh well, it's [C]easy for you to [G]see
that that [Am]country boy is [F]me
Say and [C]how am gonna ever
break the [G]news to the folks back [F]home?[C]
Well, I was [C]gonna be a great [G]success
Things sure [Am]ended up a [F]mess
[C]But in the process I g[G]ot messed up, too[F][C]

[Chorus 1]
But hello [G]Mama and Dad, I had to [F]call [G]collect
'Cause I [F]ain't got a [G]cent to my [C]name
Well I'm [Am]sleepin' in the hotel doorway
And to[G]night they say it's [F]gonna [G]rain
And if you'd [C]only [G]send me some [Am]money
I'll be [C]back on my [G]feet [Am]again[G]
[C]Send it in [G]care of the [Am]Sunday [G]Mission
Box number [C]ten[G]

[Verse 3]
Well, back in [C]Southern Illi[G]nois
they're still [Am]worryin' 'bout their [F]boy
[C]But this boy's goin' hom[G]e soon's
he gets the [F]fare[C]
Because as [C]soon as I got my [G]bread
I got a [Am]pipe upside my [F]head
You know they [C]left me in an alley
Took my [G]money and my guitar, [F]too[C]

[Chorus 2]
And hello [G]Mama and Dad, I had to [F]call [G]collect
'Cause I [F]ain't got a [G]cent to my [C]name
Well I'm [Am]sleepin' in the hotel doorway
And to[G]night they say it's [F]gonna [G]rain
And if you'd [C]only [G]send me some [Am]money[G]
I'll be [C]back on my [G]feet [Am]again[G]
[C]Send it in [G]care of the [Am]Sunday [G]Mission
