Lonesome Hobo chords by 
Boxcar Willie
N/A•
Verse 1
G
I'm gonna do you a little medley
of a Hank Williams song.
If you hear one you like,
C
G
C
you tell me about it, okay?
I tried so hard, my dear, to show
G
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
C
It's just some evil scheme
The more I learn to care for you
F
The more we drift apart
G
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
C
And melt your cold, cold heart
G
Dm
G
C
Yeah!
Take these chains from my heart
G
and set me free
D
G
C
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
G
C
Well then if you no longer care
F
C
All the love that's beating there
D
G
Take these chains from my heart
C
G
And set me free
C
I bet you remember this one
If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me
G
half as much as you do
C
F
I know that I would never be this blue
G
If you only loved me
C
G
C
half as much as I love you
G
Today I passed you on the street
C
F
C
And my heart fell at your feet
G
I can't help it if I'm still in
C
love with you
G
C
Somebody else stood by your side
F
C
F
And he looked so satisfied
C
G
I can't help it if I'm still
C
G
in love with you
C
Now everybody knows this,
you're cheatin' hard,
G
C
F
but if you weep
G
C
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the
F
whole night through
G
You're cheatin' hard,
C
F
G
C

All I do is sit and sigh and sigh,

This is for you, Miss Dankler.
From the great Atlantic Ocean
C
to the wide Pacific Shore
D
To the queen of flowing mountain
G
by the South Mill by the shore
In a mighty rush of the Indian canine
C
loathsome ho -ho's claw
D
No changes can be taken
G
on the Wabash Cannonball, yeah
C
Harden Powell in his big electric
D
G
C
D
G
Hawaiian steel guitar
She rolled into Birmingham
C
on no December day
D
As you pulled into the station,
you could hear all the people say
G
There's a gal out there from Florida,
C
she's long and she's tall
D
She's a combination of the
G
Wabash Cannonball
and the Roll
C
Chuck Jennings and his custom
D
G
C
D
G
Fender guitar
Here's to daddy Travis
C
May's name forever stand
D
Always be remembered
G
throughout this great land
His earthly race is over
C
and we're back to a draw
D
Gonna carry him up to heaven
G
on the Wabash Cannonball
Everybody!
Well, listen to the jingle, the rumble,
C
and the roar
D
As he glides along the world
G
and by the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engines,
C
and I love some hobo squawk.
D
No changes can be taken
G
on the Wabash Cannonball.
D
We're rollin' right to Dixie
G
on the Wabash Cannonball.
D
G
God love you ladies and gentlemen!
G
A special thanks to Mr. Foxcar Willie,

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
