VERSE I
 G                                    C          G
 Well, as I was out walking round the corner one day 
   G                       D
 I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay
     G                             C             G
 His face was all grounded, in the cold sidewalk floor
 G                               D             G
 I guess he'd been there for a whole night and more 


CHORUS
        C                G
 He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
                   D
 Leaving nobody to sing his sad song
      C                 G
 He's leaving nobody to carry him home
                          C                                         G
 He was only a hobo, well one more, one more, one more, one more is gone

VERSE II
 A blanket of newspaper covered his head
 And the dirt was his pillow and the street was his bed
 One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come
 And a fistful of coins showed the money he'd bummed

VERSE III
 It takes much of a man to see his whole life go down
 Stare at the world from a hole in the ground
 To wait for his future like a horse that's gone lame
 To lie in the gutter, and to die with no name
