to your brown- (G major) (F major) eyed (G major) baby (C major) now
Oh, the trains leave every morning,
some go (F major) east and some go west

All those boxcars full of Chinese junk,
the caboose (F major) has been junk piled
And (C major) we're all buying groceries now from
men with crooked smiles (A minor)
You were a drunken, (F major)
wild (C major) misogyneer and your politics were crude (F major) (G major)
As you sat (A minor) home writing nurs (E minor) ery

(C major)

Don't go com (F major) ing 'round here, Woodrow,
(C major) they'll stretch you from a rope (F major) (G major)

where a man (F major) can drink (G major) and smoke (C major)
Repeat Sing the truth, (A minor) scream it loud
(E minor)

Verse 6
Did you (C major) hear the screen (G major) door (A minor) slam, Ma, (C major)
(G major) Woodrow's (F major) gone again
He's writ (C major) in' obscene letters now,
the Feds might bring him (A minor) in
But every (F major) song (C major) he ever wrote is
hangin' on (G major) the breeze (F major) (G major)
With the laundry (A minor) in the Guthrie (E minor) yard
full of Huntington's (F major) (G major) dis (C major) ease
So, Woodrow, rest in peace, old pal,
there ain't (F major) nothin' for you here
We're (C major) in the scrub oak country now,
the land of (E minor) dread an (G major) ' fear (A minor)
And whitey's (F major) in the wood pile (C major) and
the writing's on the wall (F major) (G major)
But your (A minor) ring of truth still echoes (E minor) (C major) down
the Greystone (F major) (G major) clinic hall (C major)
Repeat Sing the truth, (A minor) scream it loud
(E minor)
Verse 7
Aw, Mrs. (F major) Guthrie,
look what they (C major) done to (F major) your brown- eyed (G major) baby (C major) now
So here's to all outsiders,
(D minor) all the ones (F major) who could not fit
The troubadour, (C major) the prisoners,
the drunken Indian (A minor)
Ah, the cir (F major) cus freaks,
the wounded (C major) lovers will make it through somehow (F major) (G major)
Ah, (A minor) Mrs. Guthrie,
we are (E minor) ridin' blind (G major) with your (F major) brown eyed (G major) baby now (C major)
Sing the truth (A minor) scream it loud (E minor)
Ah, Mr (F major) s. Guthrie,
look what we (C major) done to your (F major) brown- eyed (G major) baby now (C major)
Sing the truth, (A minor) scream it loud (E minor)
Ah, Mr (F major) s. Guthrie,
