G                         C          G     G G
As I was out walking on a corner one day,

                                        D  D
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay.

      G                            C             G   G G
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor

                                     D              G
And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more.
[Chorus]
C                 G
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

                                D   C
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song

G                  C         G    G G
Leavin' nobody to carry him home

                         D          C G
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
[Solo with Harmonica] G D C G [Verse 2]
   G                    C           G    G
A blanket of newspaper covered his head,

                                                D  D D
As his step was his pillow, the street was his bed.

      G                          C              G   G G
One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come

                                   D          G   G G
And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed.
[Chorus]
         C               G
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone

                                D   C
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song

G                  C         G    G G
Leavin' nobody to carry him home

                         D          C G
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
[Verse 3]
G                                  C                 G    G G
Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down,

                                             D    D D
To look up on the world from a hole in the ground,

    G                             C                G  G
To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame,

                         D           G
To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
[Chorus]
         C               G
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone

                                D   C
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song

G                  C         G    G G
Leavin' nobody to carry him home

                         D          C G
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
