Hello Hopeville

            E
Down at the Cold War Institute, they
 were signing new recruits
    E
He went down to the station In his 
three piece suit
        A7
She had cried for him to stay now 
there was nothing more to say
        E
She was waving an old white kerchief
 as the train pulled away singing
B7                    A7         
« Bye bye baby boy I hope they 
         E
treat you well well well »

[Verse]
        E
It was another situation as the 
train left the station
Continues after the ad

        E
It was « Hello, Hopeville I need a 
vacation! »
        A7
Now the world’s been cruel This time
 she really let me down
            E
I thought I’d go back to school, 
yeah try to clean up this town
               B7                
and now it’s « Hello Hopeville I 
A7                         E
know you’re gonna treat me well well
 well »

E
Get gone!

[Instrumental]
E A7 E B7 Bb7 A7 E

[Verse]
E
Well well well looky here looky 
here, well well well what have we 
got here
E
Got me a runaway kid, got no money 
never did Got no sense to come in 
out of the rain
         A7
He was  waiting for a station just 
like
                       E
Some people wait for a train
                   B7          
And I’m singing  « Bye bye baby 
       A7                  E
boy I hope they treat you well… »
