Chords by Alfredo Alex G. General

[Intro]
C G Am F C G G7 C G

[Verse]
           C            G
Well outta Southern Illinois
       Am        Am/G        F
Come a down-home country boy
           C
He’s gonna make it in the city
        G                 F   G
Playin’ guitar in the studio
            C                    G
Oh well, he hadn’t been there an hour
        Am    Am/G         F
When he met a Broadway flow’r
             C
You know she took him for his money
        G                     F   G
And she left him in a cheap hotel
              C               G
Oh well, it’s easy for you to see
          Am      Am/G       F
That that country boy is me
        C                            G                      F    G
Say and how’m I gonna ever break the news to the folks back home?
            C                G
Well, I was gonna be a great success
            Am    Am/G       F  C
Things sure ended up a mess
                   G               F  G
But in the process I got messed up to

[Chorus]
       G                     F      G
Hello, mama and dad I had to call collect
        F           G          C    C/B
Cause I ain’t got a cent to my name
          Am
Well, I’m sleepin’ in a hotel doorway
       D7                        G
And tonight they say it’s gonna rain
             C      C/B    Am    Am/G
And if you’d only send me some money
           C      C/B    Am    Am/G
I’ll be back on my feet again
C          C/B           Am      Am/G
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
F      G    C    C C/B Am Am/G  F G C

[Verse]
              C            G
Well, back in Southern Illinois
               Am       Am/G           F   C
They’re still worryin” ‘bout their boy
                     G                       F    G
But this boy’s goin’ home soon’s he gets the fare
           C                G
Because as soon as I got my bread
        Am     Am/G        F
I got a pipe upside my head
              C
You know they left me in an alley
        G                   F    G
Took my money and my guitar too

[Chorus]
       G                     F      G
Hello, mama and dad I had to call collect
        F           G          C    C/B
Cause I ain’t got a cent to my name
          Am
Well, I’m sleepin’ in a hotel doorway
       D7                        G
And tonight they say it’s gonna rain
             C      C/B    Am    Am/G
And if you’d only send me some money
           C      C/B    Am    Am/G
I’ll be back on my feet again
C          C/B           Am      Am/G
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
F      G    C    C C/B Am Am/G  F G C
