From A Boxcar Door Chords

(ver. 2)
Boxcar Willie
G
I've seen the 'gators and the skeeters

                            D7
Down in the swamps of Louisian


I've seen the Painted Desert

                                   G
I've traveled across Texas burning sand



I've seen the great Rocky Mountains

                        G7           C
That reach up where the mighty eagle soars

         D7
You know big or small I've seen it all

              G
From a boxcar door



I've seen those wheat fields out in Kansas

                                   D7
In Iowa I've watched the tall corn grow

                           
Seen 'em picking fruit in Florida

                                    G
Watched 'em digging taters up in Idaho



I've seen the factories in Detroit

                  G7              C
I've seen a small country general store

    D7
And big or small I've seen it all

              G
From a boxcar door


              
I've seen the coal mines in Kentucky

                                    D7
I've seen the steel mills in Birmingham


I've seen the Appalachians seen the Hoover

                          G
And I've seen every other dam



I've seen the great Salt Lake in Utah

                      G7      C
I've heard the mighty Ni-agra roar

     D7
Yeah big or small I've seen it all

              G
From a boxcar door



I've seen the great Potomac River


                               D7
The wide Missouri and the O-hi-o

                     
I've seen the Colorado

                                    G
I've watched the mighty Mississippi flow



I've seen the great Atlantic Ocean

                       G7     C
I've seen California's golden shore

         D7
You know big or small I've seen it all

              G
From a boxcar door



I've seen the black man in the ghettos

                                        D7
On the reservation I've watched the Navajo


I've seen the migrant workers

                                     G
In the fields from Maine down to Mexico



I've seen the rich man in his penthouse

                     G7            C
The shanties and the shacks of the poor

     D7
Yeah big or small I've seen it all

              G
From a boxcar door



But my travels are not over

                                       D7
There's lots more that I've just gotta see


Every day's a new adventure

                                       G
And I thank the Lord for letting me be free


         
When I hop aboard a boxcar

                     G7              C
And hear that mighty engine start to roar

         D7
You know big or small I'll see you all

              G
From a boxcar door

     D7                                          G
Yeah big or small I'll see you all from a boxcar door
