Intro:
C/// C/// G/// E7///
A7/// D/// G/// G///
Last Gnight as I Dlay on a Gboxcar
Just Cwaiting for a train to pass Gby,
CWhat will become of the Ghobo
WhenA7ever his time comes to Ddie?
There's a Gmaster up Dyonder in Gheaven,
Got a Cplace that we might call our B7home.
Will Cwe have to work for a Gliving E7
Or A7can we conDtinue to Groam?
Will there Gbe any Dfreight trains in Gheaven?
Any Cboxcars in which we might Ghide?
Will there Cbe any tough cops or Gbrakemen?
Will they A7tell us that we cannot Dride?
Will the Ghobo Dchum with the Grich man?
Will he Calways have money to B7spare?
Will Cthey have respect for a Ghobo E7
In the A7land that lies Dhidden up Gthere?
