Capo 2nd fret A - Asus4 - A A - Asus4 - A A - A6 - A7 D D G He was born in International Falls a long long time ago, A G D He moved to Tucamcari when the iron work got slow. D G He was corn bread and hard scrabble, a scratchin' for every dime A G D Till he threw it in and he hit the road to walk that endless line. A7 D Now he's the last hobo, ridin' the last boxcar, A7 D On the last freight train, leavin' here. A7 D Now he's the last hobo, ridin' the last boxcar, A7 D On the last freight train, away from here.
D G He tried his hand at lots of jobs and he did 'em all with pride, A G D From shoein' mules to drivin' trucks, he mastered what he tried. D G It must've been Ramona, she was all he cared about, A G D When she ran away and left him, you could see the fire go out. A7 D Now he's the last hobo, ridin' the last boxcar, A7 D On the last freight train, away from here. G D D7 We hardly ever see him, once or twice and he would stay a day or two. G A A7 He'd ask about Ramona, then he'd say that he was only passin' though. D G Now he knows every railroad bull along the right of way, A G D And every hobo jungle from New York to Santa Fe. D G He's looked for his Ramona on the far side of the hill. A G D Now his sun is sinkin' lower and he's lookin' for her still. A7 D Still he's the last hobo, ridin' the last boxcar, A7 D On the last freight train, leavin' here. A7 D Now he's the last hobo, ridin' the last boxcar, A7 D On the last freight train, away from here. A7 D
