[VERSE]

C/G
I rode down to Mechanicsburg
C/G                    G
On a cold and wintery day
     C/G                   F         C/G
And I heard a tramp by the railroad tracks
                 G        C/G
And he had these words to say

C/G
I worked forty years as a fireman boy
C/G                  G
On the Pennsylvania line
     C/G              F    C/G
And I ended up just a derelict
                      G     C/G
Drinkin’ Boone’s Farm apple wine

[CHORUS]

Am          C/G      F       C/G
where can a bum find bed and board
F              C/G          G       C/G
When you gonna make it stop rainin’ lord
Am          C/G      F       C/G
Where can a bum find bed and board
F              C/G          G       C/G
When you gonna make it stop rainin’ lord

[VERSE]

C/G
I rode out of Mechanicsburg
C/G                            G
On a freight train a half mile long
      C/G                     F        C/G
But I still think back to the railroad track
                G        C/G
And that hobo’s mournful song

[CHORUS]

Am          C/G      F        C/G
Where can a bum find bed and board
F              C/G          G       C/G
When you gonna make it stop rainin’ lord
Am          C/G      F       C/G
Where can a bum find bed and board
F              C/G          G       C/G
When you gonna make it stop rainin’ lord
        Am          C/G      F       C/G
Singin’ where can a bum find bed and board
F               C/G          G       C/G
When you gonna make it stop rainin’ lord
Am          C/G      F        C/G
Where can a bum find bed and board
F              C/G          G        C/G
When you gonna make it stop rainin’ lord
