The Last Hobo chords by Guy Clark

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

Verse 1:
         C
Well the Commodore sleeps with his boots on
F                           C
Under a blanket of Santa Fe snow
          C
He got an old harp he plays the blues on
C                              F       G
He goes scar'n up quarters wherever he goes
    C
The Commodore he's an old hobo
        F                                     C
And his wild and his crazy and his just about free
         C
You know he rode the rails through the Dust Bowel
       C             G     C
Ah and he sailed the China Sea

Chorus:
          F                         C
But there ain't no more rattlers to ride
C              F  C   G
Singapore seen better days
     C           F         C           F
He's just an old hobo with no place to go bo
    C      G       C
All aboard anchors away

Verse 2:
         C
With his back to the front of the boxcar
        F                                           C
Ah it's cold and it's wet and it's and a little too late
        C
And his way too far from the ocean
        C                       F              G
And his think'n about givi'n up freighters and freights
  C
Decoated he stands on the trestle
   F                        C
Cosider'n jump'n, Cosider'n not
     C
When all of a sudden from nowhere
          C          G              C
Comes the sound of a train he ain't caught

Chorus:
          F                         C
But there ain't no more rattlers to ride
C              F  C   G
Singapore seen better days
     C           F         C           F
He's just an old hobo with no place to go bo
    C      G       C
All aboard anchors away
    C      G       C
All aboard anchors away
