[Verse 1]

             C

Well, I was sitting on the pavement

          C

When my good friend said to me

                                    F

How about we go to town tonight a-begging

             F

Well, it's nearly Christmas time

           Fm

What else have you got to do

              F           G                C

It's getting cold and we need to get some rent

 

 

[Chorus]

                F

It's a hobo's Christmas

              C

Whatcha gonna do

                G

Well, there ain't no turkey leg

             C

On your Christmas plate today

                                F

If you disappear would anybody miss you

        F

As you set down for the night

             Fm

Stuff your clothes full of newspaper

          F             G                C

And you drink the very last sip of your brew

      C

You shout Hip Hip Hooray

                                        F

There's a stocking at the end of your string

             F

Rudolph the dog that was his name

        Fm

Now you won't see him again

         F                 G                 C

But at least you've got a way out with your skin
