         E
When my feet touch down in a foreign land
         D                  A
I buried all my money in a coffee can
               E
And I've been hobo skipping just to hide
from the weather
      D                      A
Only got two pennies better rub them together
           E
Because I keep it on my sleeve
I wear it on my shirt
   D                         A
I got a living room full of dust and dirt
            E
And it's a jumped up living in the city of smoke
          D                A
I better suck it up before I,

Chorus:
            E D
I'm gonna fly
       A         E
I'm a hobo rocket
              D               A
(Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey)
        E  D
Wanna die,
        A              E
nothing in my pocket, yeah
              D               A          E
(Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey)

When my shoes got holes in the cobble streets
And now it feels like heaven underneath my feet
I'm like a lone crusader on a holy endeavor
Living 5 pound daily in a charity sweater
Because I'm beating on my drum
I'm tapping on my knee
A street rat jamming to a Beck CD
You know I still got rhythm if I don't get paid
And I don't give a shit if I, I'm gonna fly

Chorus

E  D                 A            E
Alright, alright, alright (who who)
   D                 A             E
Alright, alright, alright (who who)
   D                 A
Alright, alright, alright (who who)
   E                                D           A
I tell them what I tell them and I do it every night
