Hobo Song chords by Jerry Garcia

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

G                Em      C                Am
Too late to feel sorrow, too late to feel pain
F                 Am    G       Gsus4  G
He's just an old hobo lost out in the rain
G                 Em      C                Am
He'll never cause trouble, so don't have no fear
F                C             G           Gsus4       G
He's just an old hobo and he'll soon be far away from here
[chorus]
B7                            C
He used to be a rambling man just like you
         G                     D                    G   Gsus4  G
Until he sank so low there was nothing no one could do
B7                            C
He used to be a gambling man just like you
         G                     D                 G
Until he sank so low there was nothing no one could do

Oh, don't make him ask you, don't make him beg
He's was a war hero. That's how he lost his leg.
He killed thirty Indians with one cannonball
Now he's just an old hobo asleep out in the hall

(CHORUS)

He's got a wife and five children who live out in LA
How they miss their dear daddy who's gone so far away
They still have his picture, it's hung up on the wall
Now he's just an old hobo asleep out in the hall

(CHORUS X2)
