Verse:

G                          G6sus4                    G
This hobo jungle’s not the place for us mama
                  G6b5      G6sus4
But it’s where we ended up tonight
   C         C/B                   Em
My steps are unsure and I need you mama
            A7                                  C
You deserve more and I’ll do my best to make it right

             G           G6sus4                      G
They told me long ago to do my daddy’s bidding
                  G6b5                G6sus4
Work your job and do your love one’s proud
         C               C/B              Em
But I’ve stumbled down a trail they never dreamed of
        A7                         C
On to a land they never made a map about


Chorus:

   C                                  G        D
So drag that blade across my face now honey
C                  B7
Clean this drifter up
C                                 G        G6b5
Tomorrow I’ll go scare us up some money
        G6sus4                           G
But for now let’s just clean me up

Verse:

                       G6sus4                         G
We don’t have much but what we have is whiskey
                      G6b5              G6sus4
So tonight let’s just grin and tip the cup
       C          C/B          Em
As for me I would happy to see fifty
            A7          C
But I’m not giiiiiiving up


             G         G6sus4                        G
The smell of woodsmoke used to make me happy
                      G6b5            G6sus4
The empty sky and the freedom of the road
    C             C/B         Em
But now its just another hobo jungle
             A7                  C
Old patch of ground and an early snow


Chorus:

   C                                  G        D
So drag that blade across my face now honey
C                  B7
Clean this drifter up
C                                 G        G6b5
Tomorrow I’ll go scare us up some money
        G6sus4                           G
But for now let’s just clean me up
