[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
