Intro: C-G-Am-F-C-G-G7-C-G
Well outta [C]Southern Illi[G]nois
Come a [Am]down-home country [F]boy
He’s gonna [C]make it in the city
Playin’ [G]guitar in the stud[F-C-G]io
Oh well, he [C]hadn’t been there an [G]hour
When he [Am]met a Broadway [F]flow’r
You know she [C]took him for his money
And she [G]left him in a cheap ho[F]tel [C-G]
Oh well, it’s [C]easy for you to [G]see
That that [Am]country boy is [F]me
Say and [C]how’m I gonna ever break the [G]news to the folks back [F]home?[C-G]

Things sure [Am]ended up a me[F]ss [C]
But in the process [G]I got messed up [F]to [C-G]
Refrain:
Hello, [C]mama and dad I had to [F]call coll[G]ect

Well, I’m [C]sleepin’ in a hotel [F]doorway
And ton[D]ight they say it’s gonna [G]rain
And if you’d [C]only se[Em]nd me some [Am]money [Am/G]
I’ll be bac[C]k on my[Em] feet [Am]again [Am/G]
[C]Send it in [Em]care of the S[Am]unday Mi[Am/G]ssion

They’re still w[Am]orryin” ‘bout their [F]boy [C]
But this boy’s goin’ [G]home soon’s he gets the [F]fare[C-G]
Because as [C]soon as I got my [G]bread
I got a [Am]pipe upside my [F]head
You know they [C]took me in an alley
Took my [G]money and my guitar [F]too [C-G]
Repeat refrain
