Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]There was a c[G]hill that night
[F]in the hobo jun[Fm]gle
[Am]Over the train yard [Em]lay [Dm]a smooth
coat [G]of frost[C]
And although nobody [G]here really
[F]knows where they're [Fm]goin'[Am]
[Em]At the v[Dm]ery same time[F]
[G]nobody's [C]lost[F][C][F][C]
Then the fire went [G]out[F]
and the night grew [Fm]still[Am]
This old [Em]man lay f[Dm]rozen on the cold,
cold [G]ground[C]
He was a stray [F]bird and the road
was his [Fm]callin'[Am]
[Em]Ridin' [Dm]the rods

[Verse 2]
[G]Sleepin' und[F]er the[C] stars[Em][Am]
[Em]Playin' the [Dm]odds [F]from a
[G]rollin' [C]box [F]car[Fm][C]
She attended the fu[G]ner[C]al [F]in
the hobo [Fm]jungle[Ddim][Am]
Long were they lov[Em]ers [Dm]though
never could [Em]they [G]wed[C]
Drifters and [F]rounders and
distant [Fm]friends[Am]
Here [Em]I lie without an[Dm]ger or regret
[F]I'm in no [G]one's deb[C]t[F][G][A][D]
Man goes [A]nowhere

[Verse 3]
[G]Everything comes like
to[Gm]morrow[Bm]
But she took that [F#m]last ride
[Em]there by his side[A][D]
He spent his whole [A]life [G]pursuing
the ho[Gm]rizon[Bm]
[F#m]Ridin' the [Em]rod s
[A]Sleepin' und[G]er the[D] stars[A][Bm]
[F#m]Playin' [Em]the [G]odds from a [A]rollin'
[D]box car
