More chords by John Prine


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.

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.

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.

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.
