only a hobo - titus andronicus lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as i was out walking on a corner one day
i spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay
his face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
and i guess he’d been there for the whole night or more

[chorus]
he was only a hobo, but one more is gone
leaving n0body to sing his sad song
leaving n0body to carry him home
he was only a hobo, but one more is gone

(one chord for a while okay?)

[verse 2]
(now listen here)
a blanket of newspaper covered his head
as the step was his pillow, the street was his bed
one look at his face showed the hard road he’d come
(yes it did)
(anybody could tell)
and a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed

[chorus]
he was only a hobo, but one more is gone
leaving n0body to sing his sad song
leaving n0body to carry him home
he was only a hobo, but one more is gone

(give me that one chord)
(play the thing now)

[harmonica solo]

[verse 3]
does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down
(or a woman, or a girl, or anyone in the world)
to look up on the world from a hole in the ground
to wait for your future like a horse that’s gone lame
to lie in the gutter and die with no name

[chorus]
he was only a hobo, but one more is gone
leaving n0body to sing his sad song
leaving n0body to carry him home
he was only a hobo, but one more is gone

[outro]
only, only a hobo, but one more is gone

(thank you very much)
(we’re gonna take a little ten minute break)
