Hobos Meditation chords by Merle Haggard

C            G7       C
Tonight as I lay on a boxcar

F                                C
Just waiting for a train to pass by

F                       C
What will become of the hobo

D7                          G7
Whenever that time comes to die


C                 G7        C
Has the Master up yonder in heaven

F                                  C
Got a place that we might call our home

F                          C
Will we have to work for a living

D7        G7          C
Or can we continue to roam


                  G7                C
Will there be any freight trains in heaven

F                             C
Any boxcars in which we might hide

F                                C
Will there be any tough cops and brakemen

D7                          G7
Will they tell us we cannot ride


C             G7                 C
Will the hobo chum with the rich man

F                            E7
Will we always have money to spare

F                            C
Will they have respect for a hobo

                 G7             C
In the land that lies hidden up there


                  G7                C
Will there be any freight trains in heaven

F                             C
Any boxcars in which we might hide

F                                C
Will there be any tough cops and brakemen

D7                          G7
Will they tell us we cannot ride


C             G7                 C
Will the hobo chum with the rich man

F                            E7
Will we always have money to spare

F                            C
Will they have respect for a hobo

                 G7             C
