On The Southbound

C                                      F           C
Well I woke up this morning when the cold Chicago wind
 C                                G
Blew my newspaper blanket off my back
             C                      F                C
Through my dirty broken window the grey sun filtered in
       F                  C          G7       C
As I dreamed about the Southbound railroad track
C                                       F        C
I could almost hear the crickets in a sleepy cottonfield
C                                G7
As daddy drove our vagon to the Jin
      C                               F              C
But today I'd give a fortune for a twenty five cent meal
        F             C     G7  C
And I wish I was a country boy again

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           G7                           C
So let me ride on the Southbound and put me off somewhere near Birmingham

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

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           G7                           C
So let me ride on the Southbound and put me off somewhere near Birmingham
     G                           C
And put me off somewhere near Birmingham
