Hobos Meditation chords by Merle Haggard

Chords with lyrics

C majorC      G7G7    C majorC
Tonight as I lay on a boxcar

FF                C majorC
Just waiting for a train to pass by

FF            C majorC
What will become of the hobo

D7D7             G7G7
Whenever that time comes to die


C majorC         G7G7    C majorC
Has the Master up yonder in heaven

FF                 C majorC
Got a place that we might call our home

FF             C majorC
Will we have to work for a living

D7D7    G7G7     C majorC
Or can we continue to roam

         G7G7        C majorC
Will there be any freight trains in heaven

FF               C majorC
Any boxcars in which we might hide

FF                C majorC
Will there be any tough cops and brakemen

D7D7             G7G7
Will they tell us we cannot ride


C majorC       G7G7         C majorC
Will the hobo chum with the rich man

FF              E7E7
Will we always have money to spare

FF              C majorC
Will they have respect for a hobo

         G7G7       C majorC
In the land that lies hidden up there

         G7G7        C majorC
Will there be any freight trains in heaven

FF               C majorC
Any boxcars in which we might hide

FF                C majorC
Will there be any tough cops and brakemen

D7D7             G7G7
Will they tell us we cannot ride


C majorC       G7G7         C majorC
Will the hobo chum with the rich man

FF              E7E7
Will we always have money to spare

FF              C majorC
Will they have respect for a hobo

         G7G7       C majorC
