Guitar chords with lyrics
- Difficulty: Beginner 👶
🎸 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)
