[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D G D There was a time, when lonely men would wander; A D A Through this land, rolling aimlessly along. D G D So many times, I've heard of their sad stories; D A D Written in the words of dead men's songs.
[Verse 2]
D G D Down through the years, many men have yearned for freedom. A D A Some found it only on the open road. D G D So many tears of blood have fell around us; D A D 'Cause you can't always do what you are told.
[Chorus]
D G D Please tell me where, have all the hobos gone to. A D A I see no fire burning down by the rusty railroad tracks. D G D Could it be, that time has gone and left them, D A D Tied up in life's eternal travelling sack
[Interlude]
D A D
[Verse 3]
D G D Last Sunday night, I wrote a letter to my loved one. A D A I signed my name and knew I'd stayed away too long. D G D There was a time when my heart was free to wander. D A D And I remember as I sing this hobo song.
[Chorus]
D G D Please tell me where have all the hobos gone to. A D A I see no fire burning down by the rusty railroad tracks D G D Could it be, that time has gone and left them, D A D Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack D A D Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack
