[Intro]
D G D D
A A7 D
[Verse 1]
D
There was a time,
G D D
when lonely men would wander
A
Through this land,
A7 D
rolling aimlessly along
A D G
So many times, I've heard
D D
of their sad stories
A A7
Written in the words
D
of dead men's songs
[Verse 2]
D
Down through the years,
G D
many men have yearned for freedom
A A7 D
Some found it only on the open road
A D G
So many tears of blood
D
have fell around us
A A7
'Cause you can't always do
D
what you were told

[Chorus]
D
Please tell me where,
G D
have all the hobos gone to
A A7
I see no fire burning, down
D A
by the rusty railroad tracks
D G
Could it be, that time
D
has gone and left them?
A A7
Tied up in life's eternal
D D
travelin' sack
[Parlando]
D G
Last Sunday night, I wrote
D
a letter to my loved one
D A
I signed my name and I knew that
A7 D
I'd stayed away, way too long
A D
There was a time when my
G
heart was free to wander
D
And I remember;
A A7 D
as I sing this hobo song
