Gordon Bok - This Old Mandolin Chords

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


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


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


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


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

This old mandolin will keep a hobo from harm


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