[Verse 1]
G7
I was walking by the graveyard
C
late last Friday night
E
I heard somebody yelling
Am
it sounded like a fight
F C Am F
It was just a drunken hobo dancing circles in the night
C G
Pouring whiskey on the head stones
F C
in the blue moon light
F G C E Am
So often have I wondered where those homeless brothers go
D7 G
Down in some hidden valley where their sorrows cannot show
F C
Where the police cannot find them
Am F
where the wanted man can go
C G
There's freedom when you're walking
F C
even though you are walking slow
[Chorus]
F G C E Am
Smash your bottle on the grave stone and live while you can
D7 G7 C
That homeless brother is my friend
[Verse 2]
G
It's hard to be a pack rat
C
It's hard to be a 'bo
E Am
But living's so much harder where the heartless people go
F C
Somewhere the dogs are barking
Am F
and the children seem to know
C G F C
That Jesus on the highway was a lost hobo
F G C E Am
And they hear the holy silence of the temples in the hill
D7
And they see the ragged tatters
G
as another kind of frill
F C Am F
And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him the chill
C G
and they are sad to do their living
F C
for some other kind of thrill
[Chorus]
F G C E Am
Smash your bottle on the grave stone and live while you can
D7 G7 C
That homeless brother is my friend
