---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hobo Song - John Prine ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dave S. Email: Dlgibson@netscape.com Tuning: Standard (CAPO 2nd Fret) Artist: John Prine Album: Bruised Orange Year: 1978 Intro: D A D D G D There was a time, when lonely men would wander; A D Through this land, rolling endlessly 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. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/john-prine/97680.html ] D G D Down through the years, many men have yearned for freedom. A D Some found it only on the open road. D G D So many tears of blood have filled around them; A D 'Cause you can't alway do what you are told. Chorus: D G D Please tell me where, have all the hobos gone to. A D A I see no light 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. (Repeat Intro) D G D Last Sunday night, I wrote a letter to my loved one. A D 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. (Repeat Chorus) |
