C        Em     F              C
I wish I hadn't stayed away so long
Am              F              G
I wish I hadn't stayed away so long
Am               G
Bell rang on the midnight train
F                 Em
Carrying a hobo's home

And I wish I hadn't stayed away so long

C         Em        F            C
My mother died when I was on the road
Am                  F            G
My mother died when I was on the road
Am               G
Bell rang on the midnight train

Carrying a hobo's home
Am                  Dm    G      C
My mother died when I was on the road
C
(I wish I hadn't stayed away so long)
