Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
When  I was younger  I was torn  afraid  & lonely
 I knew I had to move gotta hit the road
 Someday I would move and hide out where no one could ever catch me
 Cause those are bound to move gotta hit the road
Call  for the hobo,  but he was nowhere  to be found
 Call for the hobo, but he was nowhere to be found
He  must be lost  down on Straylin  Street
 He must be lost down on Straylin Street
 I spend all my time chasin nowhere gettin higher
 I found out I was nowhere and it hit me hard
 Thought I'd jump a train and head out for Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
 But the brakeman passed me by cause he was blind
 Call for the brakeman but he was nowhere to be found
 Call for the brakeman but he was nowhere to be found
 He must be lost down on Straylin Street
 He must be lost down on Straylin Street
 Well say can't you help, help, help a man like me?
 Well say can't you help, help, help a man like me?
 Well say can't you help, help, help a man like me?
 Or are you lost down on Straylin Street
 Or are you lost down on Straylin Street
 Well I hit the road with my bag full of my laundry
 I carried my book in my right hand
 Karouac's got his words that reach for the young and the ramble hearted
 Cause those are bound to move gotta hit the road
 Call for the rider but he was nowhere to be found
 Call for the rider but he was nowhere to be found
 He must be lost down on Straylin Street
 He must be lost down on Straylin Street
