[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C                         F             C
As I was out walking on a corner one day,
                          G
I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay.
    C                            F             C
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
                                  G           C
And I guess he'd been there for a whole night or more.
 
 
[Chorus]
F                C
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
                  G
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
F                 C
Leavin' nobody to carry him home
                 G           C
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                      F               C
A blanket of newspaper covered his head,
                                G
As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed.
    C                           F              C
One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come
                                  G        C
And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed.
 
 
[Chorus]
F                C
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
                  G
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
F                 C
Leavin' nobody to carry him home
                 G           C
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                                     F             C
Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down,
                               G
To look up on the world from a hole in the ground,
   C                           F                 C
To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame,
                         G           C
To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
 
 
[Chorus]
F                C
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
                  G
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
F                 C
Leavin' nobody to carry him home
                 G           C
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
 
 
[Outro]
