[Intro]
| D | G | D | D |
| A | A7 | D |
[Verse 1]
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 D D
So many times, I've heard of their sad stories
A A7 D
Written in the words of dead men's songs
[Verse 2]
D G D
Down through the years, many men have 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 A7 D
'Cause you can't always do what you were told
[Chorus]
D G D
Please tell me where, have all the hobos gone to
A A7 D A
I see no fire burning, down by the rusty railroad tracks
D G D
Could it be, that time has gone and left them?
A A7 D D
Tied up in life's eternal travelin' sack
[Parlando]
D G D
Last Sunday night, I wrote a letter to my loved one
D A A7 D
I signed my name and I knew that I'd stayed away, way too long
A D G
There was a time when my heart was free to wander
D A A7 D
And I remember; as I sing this hobo song
(parlando through the pattern of the chorus, sung by backing vocals)
[Chorus]
D G D
Please tell me where, have all the hobos gone to
A A7 D A
I see no fire burning, down by the rusty railroad tracks
D G D
Could it be, that time has gone and left them
A A7 D
Tied up in life's eternal travelin' sack
[Chorus]
D G D
Please tell me where, have all the hobos gone to
A A7 D A
I see no fire burning, down by the rusty railroad tracks
D G D
Could it be, that time has gone and left them
A A7 D
Tied up in life's eternal travelin' sack
