          C                   G            Am                 F
Well he hadn?t been there an hour, when he met a Broadway flower

You know she took him for his money and she left him in a cheap hotel


           C               G               A             F
Well it?s easy for you to see, that that country boy is me

             C                 G                  Am           F
Well I was gonna be a great success, things sure ended up a mess
 C                  G                     F  C
But in the process, I got messed up too


             G                     F      G
Well hello momma and dad I had to call collect
         F          G           C   G
cause I aint got a cent to my name
           Am
Well I?m sleepin in the hotel doorway
       G                    F    G
And tonight they say it?s gonna rain
              C    C/B          Am        G
And if you?d only send me some money
        C         C/B    Am       G
I?d be back on my feet again
 C          C/B         Am      G      F          C     (x2)
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission Box Number 10





              C         G                  Am                F
Oh back in southern Illinois, they still worryin? bout that boy
 C                   G                             F  C  G
But this boy?s goin home soon as he gets the fare
            C                 G             Am             F
Because as soon as I got my bread, I got a pipe upside my head
                C                            G                    F   C
You know they left me in an alley, took my money and my guitar too
