Gordon Bok - This old mandolin

This old ^Bmandolin is ^G#mcarved out of Pine ^C#mGiven to me by a hobo down the ^F#line ^C#m Willed to me with these last ^F#words "Be^Bfore I cross ^G#mover, I'll ^C#mshow you some ^F#chords"

This old ^Bmandolin is made out of ^G#mearth and of stone If the ^C#msound of the railroad leaves you feeling all a^F#lone This old ^G#mmandolin will take a ^F#hobo back ^Bhome^{F# G#m F#}

This old ^Bmandolin is ^G#msure full of sand It'll ^C#mplay out-of-tune if there's a cop on the ^F#train ^C#mSing you the ^Ebmrhythm of the ^G#mSuperchief ^Bout of St. ^G#mPaul ^E And that ain't ^F#all

This old ^F#7mandolin'll make a young girl ^G#7open her window Like a ^C#mwarm breeze on a rainy night ^F# And like a ^C#mhex-sign on a ^F#barn This old ^G#mmandolin will keep a ^F#hobo from ^Bharm^{F# G#m F#}
