Hobo Blues chords by Balsam Range

Intro:
G   x4
D   x4

Verse 1:

D
Sometimes I win

D
And sometimes I lose

D
Sometimes I can't keep myself

D

From singin' these a-walkin' blues

           G
Well, I've been raised up, misdirected

                                  D
Lost and lookin' for some kind of sign


Chorus:

        Am                              G
I don't know whose life life you're livin'

                  D
But it sure ain't mine


Verse 2:

D
Nine days on a riverbank

D
Nine days in the key

D
Nine days with an aching head

D
My legs, they just won't stand

          G
I've been drownin' in the gutter

                        D
Blinded by the railroad wine


Chorus:

        Am                            G
I don't know whose life life you're livin'

                  D
But it sure ain't mine


Verse 3:

G                               D
People keep on tellin' me I got somethin' to lose

G                         D
One too many holes in the soles of my shoes

G
Walkin' 'round this old town

                   D
Heavy with my hobo blues


G  D  G  D  Am  G  D


Verse 4:

D
The roof is a-leakin' and my floors are all of board

D
My pickup won't run some for to carry me no load

            G
You've been handin' me a nickle, well I turn around

                      D
And you roll me for a dime


Chorus:

        Am                               G
I don't know whose life life you're livin'

            D
But it sure ain't


Verse 5:

D
Sometimes I win

And sometimes I lose

D
Sometimes I can't keep myself

Well, I've been raised up, misdirected

                                  D
Lost and lookin' for some kind of sign


Chorus:

I don't know whose life life you're livin'

But it sure ain't mine

              Am                            G
Lord, I don't know whose life life you're livin'

                  D
But it sure ain't mine
