G

[Verse]
G                Em    C                 Am
Too late to feel sorrow too late to feel pain
F                Am            G
He's just an old hobo and he's lost out in the rain
G              Em     C                Am
He never wants trouble so dont have no fear
F                Am             G
He's just an old hobo and he'll soon be far away from here

[Chorus]
B7                           C
He used to be a gambling man just like you
         G
Until he sank so low that there was
D                    C
Nothing no one could do
B7                           C
He used to be a gambling man just like you
         G
Until he sank so low that there was
D                    C
Nothing no one could do

[Solo]
G     Em     C     Am
G     Am     G

[Verse]
G              Em     C              Am
Don't make him ask you dont make him beg
F            Am   G
He was a war hero and that's how he hurt his leg
G                Em    C                Am
He killed thirty injuns with one cannon ball
F                Am   G
He’s just an old hobo asleep out in the hall

[Chorus]
B7                           C
He used to be a gambling man just like you
         G
Until he sank so low that there was
D                    C
Nothing no one could do
B7                           C
He used to be a gambling man just like you
         G
Until he sank so low that there was
D                    C
Nothing no one could do

[Solo]
G     Em     C     Am
G     Am     G

[Verse]
G               Em      C          Am
A wife and five children who live in L.A.
F                        Am    G
How they miss their dear daddy who'se gone so far away
G                   Em     C                 Am
They still have his picture it's hung on the wall
F                   Am   G
Now he's just an old hobo asleep out in the hall

[Chorus]
B7                           C
He used to be a gambling man just like you
         G
Until he sank so low that there was
D                    C
Nothing no one could do
B7                           C
He used to be a gambling man just like you
         G
Until he sank so low that there was
D                    C
Nothing no one could do
B7                           C
He used to be a gambling man just like you
         G
Until he sank so low that there was
D                    C
Nothing no one could do
