[Intro]
D G D D A A7 D [Verse]
D G D D There was a time, when lonely men would wander A A7 D Through this land, rolling aimlessly along A D G So many times, I've heard of
D D
Their sad stories A A7 Written in the words of
D
Dead men's songs [Verse]
D G Down through the years, many men have
D
Yearned for freedom A A7 D Some found it only on the open road A D G D So many tears of blood have fell around us A 'Cause you can't always
A7 D
Do 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,
D A
Down by the rusty railroad tracks D G Could it be, that time has
D
Gone and left them? A A7 D D Tied up in life's eternal travelin' sack [Parlando]
D G Last Sunday night, I wrote a
D
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 There was a time when
D G
My heart was free to wander D A A7 D And I remember; as I sing this hobo song [Chorus]
D Please tell me where,
G D
Have all the hobos gone to A A7 I see no fire burning, down by the
D A
Rusty railroad tracks D G Could it be, that time has
D
Gone and left them A A7 D Tied up in life's eternal travelin' sack [Chorus]
D Please tell me where,
G D
Have all the hobos gone to A A7 I see no fire burning, down by the
D A
rusty railroad tracks D G Could it be, that time has
D
Gone and left them A A7 D Tied up in life's eternal travelin' sack
