Key: E major

Verse 1
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Well I  woke up this morning when
G G 
 
D D 
 
the cold Chicago wind
Blew my newspaper blanket
A A 
 
E E 
 
A A 
 
off my back
D D 
 
Through my dirty broken window
G G 
 
D D 
 
the grey sun filtered in
G G 
 
As I dreamed about the South
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
bound railroad track
I could almost hear the crickets
G G 
 
D D 
 
in a sleepy cotton field
As daddy drove our vagon
A A 
 
E E 
 
A A 
 
to Virgin
D D 
 
But today I'd give a fortune for
G G 
 
D D 
 
a twenty five cent meal
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
And I wish I was a country boy again
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
So let me ride on the Southbound
Back to where I came from I
D D 
 
don't care or where I am
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
So let me ride on the Southbound and put me off
Bm Bm 
 
somewhere near Birmingham

Interlude 1

Verse 2
D D 
 
What happened to my vision
G G 
 
D D 
 
of a mansion on a hill
And the fame and fortune I
A A 
 
E E 
 
A A 
 
came here to win
D D 
 
I've got nothing but the roaches
G G 
 
D D 
 
running cross my window sill
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
And I wish I was a country boy again

Outro 1
So let me ride
G G
