 Make sure you use a lot of dead notes and let the notes ring and buzz to get the same
 hobo feel the song has
 Intro/Verse: (Well I've been tired...)
 I've been low...)
 Bridge? (Nights spent drinkin...)
 And thats about it.
 Lyrics:
 "we'll i've been tired
 cause' i don't sleep so well on trains
 well i got ups and downs
 but days are all the same
 i've been low
 but it never gets me down
 well i've been thrown out
 i've been let down
 i've been chased
 well i've hardships
 i've been stripped of pride and name
 i've been low
 but it never gets me down
 and nights spent drinking
 all the worry from my head
 and days spent wandering
 wishing i was dead
 if i could only muster
 the words out from my mouth
 i would sing
 oh i would sing
 i'll take the next train out
 cause i've been hopin'
 i've been praying theres some god
 so when i die
 i'm found and saved
 and i'm not lost
 cause all he's done
 all for me
 is take away the ones i love
 and nights spent drinking
 all the worry from my head
 and days spent wandering
 wishing i was dead
 if i could only muster
 the words out from my mouth
 i would sing
 oh i would sing
 i'll take the next train out
 i'm gonna take it"

"we'll i've been tired
cause' i don't sleep so well on trains
well i got ups and downs
but days are all the same
i've been low
but it never gets me down

well i've been thrown out
i've been let down
i've been chased
well i've hardships
i've been stripped of pride and name
i've been low
but it never gets me down

and nights spent drinking
all the worry from my head
and days spent wandering
wishing i was dead
if i could only muster
the words out from my mouth
i would sing
oh i would sing
i'll take the next train out

cause i've been hopin'
i've been praying theres some god
so when i die
i'm found and saved
and i'm not lost
cause all he's done
all for me
is take away the ones i love

and nights spent drinking
all the worry from my head
and days spent wandering
wishing i was dead
if i could only muster
the words out from my mouth
i would sing
oh i would sing
i'll take the next train out

i'm gonna take it"
