CAPO: 2nd FRET/KEY: A/PLAY: G 
G I've seen the 'Gators and the 'Skeeters 
Down in the swamps of Louisi-{D} an' 
I've seen the Painted Desert 
I've traveled across Texas' burnin' G sand 
I've seen the great Rocky Mountains 
That reach up where the mighty G7 Eagle C soars 
You know, D big or small, I've seen it all 
>From A Boxcar G Door. 
 
I've seen those Wheat fields out in Kansas 
in Iowa, I've watched the tall Corn grow 
Seen 'em pickin' fruit in Florida 
Watched 'em diggin' 'Taters up in Idaho 
I've seen the factories in Detroit 
I've seen a small country general store 
And big or small, I've seen it all 
>From A Boxcar Door. 
 
I've seen the Coal Mines in Kentucky 
I've seen the Steel Mills in Birmingham 
I've seen the Appalachians, seen Hoover 
And I've seen ev'ry other dam 
I've seen the great Salt Lake in Utah 
I've heard the mighty N-i-ag-ra roar 
Yea! big or small, I've seen it all 
>From A Boxcar Door. 
 
I've seen the great Potomac River 
The wide Missouri and the O-hi-o 
I've seen the Colorado 
I've watched the mighty Mississipi flow 
I've seen the great Atlantic Ocean 
I've seen California's golden shore 
You know, big or small, I've seen it all 
>From A Boxcar Door. 
 
I've seen the Black man in the Ghettos 
On the Reservation, I've watched the Navajo 
I've seen the migrant workers 
In the fields from Maine down to Mexico 
I've seen the rich man in his Penthouse 
The Shantys and the Shacks of the poor 
Yea! big or small, I've seen it all 
>From A Boxcar Door. 
 
But, my travels are not over 
There's lots more that I've just gotta see 
Ev'ry day's a new adventure 
And I thank the Lord for letting me be free 
When I hop aboard a Boxcar 
And hear that mighty engine start to roar 
You know, big or small, I'll see you all 
>From A Boxcar Door. 
 
TAG: Yea! big or small, I'll see you all from a boxcar door.
