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
