D                       G
Hov'rin by my suitcase, trying to find a warm place to

spend the night.
D                     G
Heavy rain a falling, Seems I hear your voice calling
D
it's alright.

Play this after 2nd, 3rd verse:

Cmaj7               Dmaj7    Cmaj7                   Dmaj7
How many times I've wondered, it still comes out the same. No

2. Neon signs a-flashing
        G                               D               
   Taxicabs and buses passing through the night.
        D
   The distant moaning of a train,
        G                               D
   seems to play a sad refrain to the night.

3. I find me a place in a box car,
        G                               D
   so I take my guitar out to pass some time.
        D
   Late at night when it's hard to rest,
        G                               D
   I hold your picture to my chest and I'm alright.
