Only a Hobo 
Only a Hobo (Bob Dylan?)
 G C 
G 
As I was out walking on the corner one day
 D7 I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay G His face was all covered
 C G 
On the cold sidewalk floor 
I guess he'd been there D7 G 
For a whole night or more. 
(Chorus) C G 
He's only a hobo, but one more is gone D7 
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song 
C G 
Leaving nobody to carry it on
 D7 G Only a hobo, but one more is gone. (C at end) 
A blanket of newspaper covered his head A step was his pillow, the street was his bed One look at his face Showed the hard road he'd come A fistful of money Showed the coins that he'd bummed. 
Does it take much of a man To see a whole life go down And look out on the world From a hole in the ground Too late for the future Like a horse that's gone lame To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
