Only A Hobo Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
As [G]I was out walking
on the [C]corner one [G]day
I spied an old hobo, in the door[D]way he lay
His [G]face was all covered in the
cold [C]sidewalk [G]floor
I guess he'd been there for a
whole [D]night [G]or more

[Verse 2]
He was [C]only a hobo,
[G]but one more is gone
Leaving nobody to [D]carry it on
[C]Leaving nobody to sing [G]his sad song
Only a hobo, but [C]one more is [G]gone

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 3]
A blanket [G]of newspaper [C]covered his [G]head
The step was his pillow
The street [D]was his bed
One [G]look at his face
Showed [C]the hard road [G]he'd come
And a fistful of money
Showed the [D]coins that he'd [G]bummed

[Verse 4]
[G]
He was [C]only a hobo,
but [G]one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to [D]sing his sad song
[C]Leavin' nobody [G]to carry it on
Only a hobo, [C]but one more is gone

[Interlude 2]
[G]

[Verse 5]
Does it [G]take much of a man
To see a [C]whole life go [G]down
To look on the world
From a hole [D]in the ground
Too [G]late for your future
Like a [C]horse that's gone [G]lame
To lie in the gutter
And die [D]with no [G]name

[Verse 6]
[G]
He was [C]only a hobo,
but [G]one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to [D]sing his sad song
[C]Leavin' nobody [G]to carry it on
Only a hobo,
but [C]one more [G]is gone

[Outro 1]
[G][G]
