Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
Coming in on a night train
E 
Am 
with an armful of boxcars
On the wings of a magpipe
E 
Am 
across a   hooligan night
E 
Am 
Busted up a chaperone
way out by the
Kokomo
E 
Am 
Cooked up  a mess of
E 
Am 
Mulligan and  got into a fight
F 
Whistling past the
Grey
E 
John, steppin' on a crack
F 
I'm a mean mother -hubba,
E 
top of a one -eyed jack
Am 
You've probably seen me sleepin'
out by the railroad tracks
Ask the prince of darkness about the
smoke from the stack
Sometimes I kill a jackal and
suck out all the blood
E 
Am 
Steal myself a station wagon,
E 
Am 
drive it into the mine
F 
Whistlin' past the graveyard,
E 
steppin' on a crack
F 
I'm a mean mother -hummer popper,
E 
one -eyed jackal
Am 
E 
I know you've seen my headlight
Am 
and the honkin' of my horn
I'm calling out my bullhounds,
chase the devil out the corn
Last night I cracked the
E 
Am 
Mississippi, and now it's dry as a bone
I was born in a taxicab,
I ain't never going home
E 
F 
Twistin' past the graveyard,
E 
steppin' on a crack
F 
I'm a mean mother -hubba -hubba,
Am 
E 
one -eyed jack
Am 
My eyes have seen the glory
E 
Am 
of the draining of the ditch
I'm coming to
Baton
E 
Am 
Rouge to find myself a witch
E 
Am 
I'm gonna switch me a couple of them
E 
Am 
Every time it rains, you gotta see a locomotive,
E 
Am 
probably think it's a train
F 
Whistlin' past the graveyard,
E 
steppin' on a crack
F 
Am 
I'm a mean mother -hubba -bubba,
E 
Am 
one -eyed jack
E 
Am 
F 
E 
F 
E 
Am 
What you think is sunshine is
just a twinkle in my eye
E 
Am 
I got a   ring around my
finger called the 4th of
July
When I get lonesome,
a tear falls from my cheek
E 
There's gonna be an ocean in
Am 
the middle of  the week
F 
Whistlin' past the graveyard,
E 
steppin' on a crack
F 
E 
Mean mother huffer popper, one -eyed jack
Am 
I come in on  the night train
with an armful of boxcars
E 
On the wings of a magpie
Am 
across a hooligan night
I'm gonna tear off a rainbow
and wear it for a tie
E 
I never told the truth so how
Am 
in the hell could I tell a lie
F 
Whistlin' past the graveyard,
E 
steppin' on a crack
F 
I'm a mean mother -hover -popper,
E 
Am 
one -eyed jack
You
