_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ It was all an empty boxcar, [G] _ one cold and windy [D] day.
_ _ Beside the railroad water [G] tank that _ dying hobo lay,
[F#m] Said I'm headed for a _ _ [G] place where prospects are bright,
_ [A] _
Where cops _ don't hound a hobo [G] or pinch a man on sight.
[D] _ _ Tell Brooklyn [F#m] Jack, _ _ [G] _ _ Murph and Joe, _
_ [D] _ just what [G] I tell you,
_ _ _ _ [D] _ I've caught the best [G] freight on the fly, _ _ [D]
and now _ _ I'm [G] going through.
_ _ [A] I'm _ going to [G] that place far [A] away where the land is all so [G] sweet, _ _
Where [A] I don't have to [G] see the red of your blood,
[D] Cause I know [G] you've missed that,
_ _ _ _ [D]
I know you've [G] missed that, _ _
_ [D] And you've gone far [G] away from me,
_ _ [A] And it's here _ [G] in my soul keeps me rolling,
[A] _ _ Thinking about [G] what should I do,
_ [A] And from every mind [G] that ain't blind,
_ [D] You can see [G] your love through _ [D] it.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Come on, [D] _ come on, come on, [G] come on, come on, come on, come on,
_ [D] _ _ [G] Through things [Bm] like wings on birds or strings or people [G] that [D] sings,
Any place, [G] anywhere, [D] any place, [G] anywhere, [D] it's all,
Yeah, [G] it's all there [A] and it keeps on, _ _
[G] Through the moon of the night,
_ [A]
Living in truth [G] and I'm working for the right,
[A] _ Ain't no _ [G] birds and there ain't no songs,
[D] _ In the numbers,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] When the front door opens we will play some [D] songs,
_ Four days we'll [G] see the four days along,
_ [A] _ [Am] It [Em] travels down to the [A] 13,
_ The village it [Bm] was your mother's queen,
[A] _ And then it turns [G] into a jelly bean,
[A]
I put a [Em] penny in it, you know I got [D] one coming,
But [G] you give me someone [E] that don't [D] have a mark on [G] her head,
_ _ [D] Oh what can I do, [G] she's flagged and you,
And [D] then I'm bringing back what [G] I said,
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ Green old string bean, tall tree [Em] growing, _
[G] And _ [A] _ _ _ [D] in your child's love [G] I did see, _ _ _ _ _
[D] You gave life down [G] into forever, _
_ [D] When you took those lives [G] for me,
_ _ _ _ [D] _
And you [G] have won all,
[D] _ _ In every place that [G] you see,
_ _ _ [D] _ _ Places that [G] are beyond your dreams,
[D] _
Things that [G] are not really things, _
[F#m] But thoughts that [G] keep on drifting in my mind,
[A] _ Coming back from [G] graveyards in time,
[D] I keep thinking of [G] you little green bean,
_ [D] _ String bean now you've [G] grown up to be mean,
[F#m] And you let them get you bitter [G] and you hate,
They [D] got you in the school's [G] row to think you could play,
Like [D]
something for their [G] gate,
_ _ _ [A] _
That door [G] was a grave got on the floor,
[A] _
Love never [G] lived and there was never more,
[A] But everything's happy [G] when it's happy,
Here in my dream once [D] more,
_ _ [G] _
Love's done a [D] pretty good job,
_ _ [G] _ _
Working all [D] that delusion _ [G]
out of the [G#] mind,
_ [D] Love you've done [G] a good job I can see [D] you now,
Keep on [G] growing in
