The Littlest Hobo Song by Nightingale Cummings
The Littlest Hobo Song
Tuning: E A D G B E
I prefer bar chords but play as you please.
Capo on 3 changes the chords to Em, D, Em, D, G, C, D, Em
[Intro]
Gm F Gm F Bb D# F Gm
[Verse]
Gm F
There’s a voice, that keeps on calling me
Gm F
Down the road, where I always seem to be
Bb D#
Every stop I make, I see my old friend
F Gm
It aint long I get spun round and I’m gone again
[Chorus]
Bb D#
Maybe tomorrow, my whole world will settle down
F Gm
But it aint tomorrow, so I keep moving on
[Verse]
Gm F
I’m down a road, that never seems to end
Gm F
Full of track lines and rails and lies around each bend
Bb D#
So if you’re gonna join me, for a while
F Gm
Better grab your hatch, you know I live like that, kinda hobo style
[Chorus]
Bb D#
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll wanna settle down
F Gm
It aint tomorrow, so this whole world’s still my home
[Verse]
Gm F
I got my whole world, waiting to unfold
Gm F
In a zip lock bag where I can drag out this worn down soul
Bb D#
I made it through so far, so I know it won’t be long
F Gm
I must be almost there, already paid my fare with this hobo song
[Chorus]
Bb D#
Maybe tomorrow, my god’ll help me settle down
F Gm
It aint tomorrow so I guess I keep moving on
In the words of the man himself:
"I tune to open "D" which is D A D F# A D and play with my thumb over the top of the neck,
(Richie Havens style - learned to play this way after a power saw accident left my pinky finger a little
worse for wear!), I Think I may have capo'd it on the 1st fret but i'm not sure."
