D                  A
Folks in Nashville slammed the door said
                    D
We don't want you anymore
                  A        D
Find your own way down the road
D                A
Pack your fiddle and your guitar
                D
Take a train or take a car
D                             A        D
Find someone else to keep you from the cold
           G                        D
Rollin and ramblin  women loved him half to death
D                 A
Sang with whiskey on his breath
                      D     D7
His heart broke like a child
           G
Rollin and ramblin
                    D
The sun had set out on the trail
               A                                D     A   D
Hobos drifted up the rails he's taken his last ride
D             A                                 D
Oh, he always sang the blues like it was all he ever knew
                   A     D
He didn't sing at all at night
                A
He was pale and as he dozed
                   D
He didn't know his time  had closed
D                        A      D
Slumped in the back seat to the right
           G                        D
Rollin and ramblin  women loved him half to death
D                 A
Sang with whiskey on his breath
                      D     D7
His heart broke like a child
           G
Rollin and ramblin
                    D
The sun had set out on the trail
               A                                D     A   D
Hobos drifted up the rails he's taken his last ride


SOLO

D                     A
So they sent him on a night train south
                      D
In the cities and the rural routes
              A        D
Just one more place to go
                         A
Ah the whistles sang the bluest note
                      D
like it came from his own throat
D                A      D
Moaning  sad and cryin low
           G                        D
Rollin and ramblin  women loved him half to death
D                 A
Sang with whiskey on his breath
                      D     D7
His heart broke like a child
           G
Rollin and ramblin
                    D
The sun had set out on the trail
               A                                D
Hobos drifted up the rails he's taken his last ride
