I Ain’t Got No Home

Woody Guthrie

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

G              G         C              G
I ain't got no home, I'm just a-roamin' 'round,
G               G         D               D
Just a wandrin' worker, I go from town to town.
        G              G    C              G
And the police make it hard wherever I may go
      G            G            D     G
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Verse 2

My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road,
A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod;
Rich man took my home and drove me from my door
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Verse 3

Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor;
My crops I lay into the banker's store.
My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor,
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Verse 4

Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see
This world is such a great and a funny place to be;
Oh, the gamblin' man is rich an' the workin' man is poor,
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
