The Hobo by Kate Wolf
The Hobo
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 5th fret
Key: F
[Verse 1]
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G
And he sits beside the fountain with his head bowed down, don’t look around
C C/B Am
At the grey steel and the concrete a man has never known a colder home
G Am
With fifty cents for burgundy, a paper bag that holds a change of socks
E
and a bible that’s too poor to hock
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G
And I looked into his eyes they were blue like mine I recognized
C C/B Am
The hollow sunken feeling like some work of art they painted
G Am
To hang upon the wall as we gathered round to praise the honesty
E
of one man’s lonely misery
[Chorus]
F Fm
And every heart that ever broke one man’s dreams a heavy load
C G F C
That died from an overdose of on the road sits all alone...
[Verse 3]
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G
I gave the man some money and wished him well as my eyes fell
C C/B Am
To his feet, the bottom of a body wrapped up inside such ragged clothes
G Am
That I felt like a millionaire with little more, but rich, so rich in love
E
and no one gives a damn for him
[Verse 4]
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G
And I hope that he finds Jesus or a bed tonight, or another drink
C C/B Am
I’d take him home but you see now I don’t live alone
G Am
And even if I did some other reason would make me think of the places
E
that I must go
[Chorus]
F Fm
And every heart that ever broke one man’s dreams a heavy load
C G F C
That died from an overdose of on the road sits all alone...
[Verse 5]
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G
And maybe if he got a shave and washed the blood off of his face
C C/B Am
And changed his suit, he’d be some use to this country, this prosperity
G Am
But he’s bleeding in his soul they haven’t found a cure for that you see
E
except for maybe burgundy
[Chorus]
F Fm
And every heart that ever broke one man’s dreams a heavy load
C G F C
That died from an overdose of on the road sits all alone...
