Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G


Verse 1:
 C                                  F
Hear the wheels, rolling down the track
 C                                 G
Smell the smoke, coming from the stack
    C                       F
We turn our collars to the cold
         C               G              C
Always moving but we’ve got no place to go

Verse 2:
C                              F
In a coffee tin, we start our fire
         C                                   G
Rubbing hands to keep them warm, up to the flame
    C                          F
We sing a carol as the sun retires
      C                 G               C
It’s another Christmas Eve on the hobo train


Chorus:
F               G                  C
We don’t need presents or diamond rings
F          G                C
No candy boxes or pretty things
E7                     F
We’ve got all the joy that the season brings
      C                 G                C
It’s another Christmas Eve on the hobo train


Verse 3:
C                                  F
We talk of times and things we’ve had
         C                             G
Smiling for the good, laughing for the bad
    C                          F
We never worry about where we are
            C              G                   C
We’re just happy safe and warm in our railway car


Chorus:
F                G             C
There won’t be stockings or a tree
F            G                 C
No bows and ribbons will you find
E7                         F
Open the doors and you’ll see
           C                 G                     C
We’re the happiest bunch of souls moving down the line

Verse 4:
C                          F
Now don’t you take pity on me
         C                                          G
I don’t have it all, but there’s more than you can see
      C                         F
I’ve got my friends to ease my mind
            C           G                 F
Believe me, we all know   it’s Christmas time
