[Intro]
D B A F# B E A
[Verse]
A
Two hobos on a railroad line
D A
I'm getting ready to go
A
Pulling on a bottle of burgundy wine

I'm getting ready to go
A
Well they couldn't hear that southbound whistle when

The Dixie Flyer burned around the bend
A F#
And it punched their tickets for the promised land
B E A
I'm getting ready to go
[Chorus]
A D A
Sweet home, loving heaven heaven
A B E
Sweet home, can't ya hear me singing low
A D A
Sweet home, lordy I'll be traveling
D B A
So throw the gates wide open
E A
Cause I'm getting ready to go
[Verse]
A
Two magpies on telephone wire
D A
I'm getting ready to go
A
Singing to the corn like a heavenly choir
B E
I'm getting ready to go
A
Old Farmer John must be sleeping sound
D B
They shucked that corn and passed it around
A F#
But the old man's wife got her shotgun down
B E A
I'm getting ready to go
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
C#
Listen here pal 'fore your road is run
F#
And your tightrope breaks in two
B
It's a mighty big world you're standing on

And it keeps going round without little old You know who (hold for 4)
