C G        C    G
I am a lonesome hobo
    C   G      C  G       C  G
Without family or friends
C      G            C    G
Where another man's life might begin
C        G           C    G    C  G
That's exactly where mine ends
  C    G             C  G
I have tried my hand at bribery
C    G        C G    C  G
Blackmail and deceit
C   G           D        C    G
And I've served time for everything
      C       D      G      C  G  C  G  C  G
'Cept beggin' on the street

C     G            C    G
Well, once I was rather prosperous
      C   G         C   G    C  G
There was nothing I did lack
  C   G           C  G
I had fourteen-karat gold in my mouth
C   G         C  G    C  G
And silk upon my back
    C G             C  G
But I did not trust my brother
C G           C  G     C  G
I carried him to blame
C     G      D     C     G
Which led me to my fatal doom
   C      D      G     C  G
To wander off in shame

C  G  C  G  C  G
C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G

C    G          C    G
Kind ladies and kind gentlemen
C G           C  G    C  G
  Soon I will be gone
C   G      C    G
But let me just warn you all
C G         C    G
Before I do pass on
C    G            C  G
Stay free from petty jealousies
C G          C     G    C  G
  Live by no man's code
C   G         D        C       G
And hold your judgment for yourself
         C       D       G    C  G
Lest you wind up on this road

C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G
