This Old Mandolin Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[F#] [B] [F#] [G#m] [C#m]
[F#] [G#m] [F#] [B] [F#] [G#m] [F#]

[VERSE 1]
This old [B]mandolin is [G#m]carved out of Pine
[C#m]Given to me by a hobo down the [F#]line [C#m]
Willed to me with these last [F#]words
"Be[B]fore I cross [G#m]over, I'll [C#m]show you some [F#]chords"

[VERSE 2]
This old [B]mandolin is made out of [G#m]earth and of stone
If the [C#m]sound of the railroad leaves you feeling all a[F#]lone
This old [G#m]mandolin will take a [F#]hobo back [B]home[F#] [G#m] [F#]

[VERSE 3]
This old [B]mandolin is [G#m]sure full of sand
It'll [C#m]play out-of-tune if there's a cop on the [F#]train
[C#m]Sing you the [Ebm]rhythm of the [G#m]Superchief [B]out of St. [G#m]Paul [E]
And that ain't [F#]all

[VERSE 4]
This old [F#7]mandolin'll make a young girl [G#7]open her window
Like a [C#m]warm breeze on a rainy night [F#]
And like a [C#m]hex-sign on a [F#]barn
This old [G#m]mandolin will keep a [F#]hobo from [B]harm[F#] [G#m] [F#]

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE 8]
This old [B]mandolin is made out of [G#m]old barns and water tanks
If the [C#m]jukebox is busted and you need an old [F#]song
This old [G#m]mandolin will take a [F#]hobo back [B]home[F#] [G#m] [F#] [B]
