[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C G As I was out walking on the corner one day D I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay G C G His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor D G I guess he'd been there for a whole night or more
[Chorus]
C G He was only a hobo, but one more is gone D Leaving nobody to carry it on C G Leaving nobody to sing his sad song C G Only a hobo, but one more is gone
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 2]
G C G A blanket of newspaper covered his head D The step was his pillow, the street was his bed G C G One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come D G And a fistful of money showed the coins that he'd bummed
[Chorus]
C G He was only a hobo, but one more is gone D Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song C G Leavin' nobody to carry it on C G Only a hobo, but one more is gone
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 3]
G Does it take much of a man C G To see a whole life go down G To look on the world D From a hole in the ground G Too late for your future C G Like a horse that's gone lame G To lie in the gutter C G And die with no name
[Chorus]
C G He was only a hobo, but one more is gone D Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song C G Leavin' nobody to carry it on C G Only a hobo, but one more is gone
[Outro]
