• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: C majorC

Verse :
C majorC                   FF      C majorC
Well I woke up this morning when the cold Chicago wind
 C majorC                G+G
Blew my newspaper blanket off my back
       C majorC           FF        C majorC
Through my dirty broken window the grey sun filtered in
    FF         C majorC     G7G7    C majorC
As I dreamed about the Southbound railroad track



C majorC                    FF    C majorC
I could almost hear the crickets in a sleepy cottonfield
C majorC                G7G7
As daddy drove our vagon to the Jin
   C majorC                FF       C majorC
But today I'd give a fortune for a twenty five cent meal
    FF       C majorC   G7G7 C majorC
And I wish I was a country boy again

Chorus:
C majorC     FF      C majorC
So let me ride on the Southbound
G7G7              C majorC
Back to where I came from I don't care where I am
C majorC     FF       C majorC      G7G7              C majorC
So let me ride on the Southbound and put me off somewhere near Birmingham

Verse :
C majorC                 FF     C majorC
What happened to my vision of a mansion on a hill
C majorC                    G7G7
And the fame and fortune I came here to win
      C majorC               FF       C majorC
I've got nothing but the roaches running cross my window sill
    FF       C majorC   G7G7  C majorC
And I wish I was a country boy again

Chorus:
C majorC     FF      C majorC
So let me ride on the Southbound
G7G7              C majorC
Back to where I came from I don't care where I am
C majorC     FF       C majorC      G7G7              C majorC
So let me ride on the Southbound and put me off somewhere near Birmingham
   G+G              C majorC
And put me off somewhere near Birmingham
