On The Southbound

C                                 
Well I woke up this morning when 
     F           C
the cold Chicago wind
 C                              
Blew my newspaper blanket off my 
  G
back
             C                     
Through my dirty broken window the 
 F                C
grey sun filtered in
       F                  C       
As I dreamed about the Southbound 
   G7       C
railroad track

C                                 
I could almost hear the crickets 
      F        C
in a sleepy cottonfield
C                                G7
As daddy drove our vagon to the Jin
      C                            
But today I'd give a fortune for a 
   F              C
twenty five cent meal

        F             C     G7  C
And I wish I was a country boy again

[Chorus]
C          F            C
So let me ride on the Southbound
G7                           C
Back to where I came from I don't 
care where I am
C          F              C     
So let me ride on the Southbound
      G7                      
 and put me off somewhere near 
     C
Birmingham

[Verse]
C                             
What happened to my vision of a 
     F          C
mansion on a hill
C                                 
And the fame and fortune I came 
       G7
here to win
            C                   
I've got nothing but the roaches 
           F              C
running cross my window sill
       F              C     G7   C
And I wish I was a country boy again

[Chorus]
C          F            C
So let me ride on the Southbound
G7                           C
Back to where I came from I don't 
care where I am
C          F              C     
So let me ride on the Southbound
      G7                      
 and put me off somewhere near 
     C
Birmingham
     G                       
And put me off somewhere near 
    C
Birmingham
