E5                     D5
He Came to town on an old freight train,
   A5                  E5
He jumped off in the pouring rain.
E5                    D5
Everybody said he's insane,
        A5                  A5
Just a low down no account hobo.

    A5                  E5
The city folks said hey that's not his.
E5                              D5
They signed a petition they're gonna get rid,
        A5                   A5
Of that low down, no count white trash.

A5                   D5         A5
What if Jesus comes back like that,
      E5                      D5    E5
On an old freight train in a hobo hat.
A5                      D5        A5
Will we, let him in or turn our back.
E5                     D5 - A5     E5
What if Jesus comes back like that,
E5                      D5 - A5       E5
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that.
