E                 A           E 
Boxcar's my home, railroad my friend 
                                       B7 
It's been that way, since I don't know when 
    E           A            E 
I'm here today, I'm gone 
                     B7              E 
Where I hang my hat, is where I call home 
 
A                            E 
Stars at night, my roof over head 
                                  B7 
The ground below, where I make my bed 
E                 A               E 
Horizons you see, well that is my walls 
                       B7            E 
When the sun comes up, my hobo blood calls 
 
Stars at night, my roof over head 
The ground below, where I make my bed 
Horizons you see, well that is my walls 
When the sun comes up, my hobo blood calls 

Boxcar's my home, railroad my friend 
It's been that way, since I don't know when 
I'm here today, I'm gone 
Where I hang my hat, is where I call home
