Intro:
D A D
D G D
There was a time, when lonely men would wander;
A D G
Through this land, rolling aimlessly along.
D G D
So many times, I've heard of their sad stories;
D A D
Written in the words of dead men's songs.
D G D
Down through the years, many men have yearned for freedom.
A D G
Some found it only on the open road.
D G D
So many tears of blood have fell around us;
A D
'Cause you can't always do what you are told.
D G D
Please tell me where, have all the hobos gone to.
A 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 D
Tied up in life's eternal travelling sack
D A D
D G D
Last Sunday night, I wrote a letter to my loved one.
A D G
I signed my name and knew I'd stayed away too long.
D G D
There was a time when my heart was free to wander.
A D
And I remember as I sing this hobo song.
D G D
Please tell me where have all the Hobo's gone to.
A D A
I see no fires burning down by the rusty railroad tracks
D G D
Could it be, that time has gone and left them,
A D
Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack
