Tom: G
G D C G D C X3
[Verse 1]
G D C
I want my son to have this when I’m dead
G D C
It’s a book I always start but I’ve never read
G D C
I was born to follow the steps my Dad tread
G D C
But if I’d have known that, I’d have fled
[Chorus]
F C G
Won’t somebody tell me what I’m doing here?
F C G
Won’t somebody tell me where I’m going?
F C G
Won’t somebody spend a [blank] minute on me?
F C G
Pray for a hobo who’s gone wrong
[Verse 2]
G D C
Every day I wake up is a new day
G D C
Every song I sing contains a new refrain
G D C
And when I see you again, we’ll have changed
G D C
And I’ll remember your face but maybe not your name
[Chorus]
F C G
Won’t somebody tell me what I’m doing here?
F C G
Won’t somebody tell me where I’m going?
F C G
Won’t somebody spend a [blank] minute on me?
F C G
Pray for a hobo who’s gone wrong
[Verse 3]
G D C
Life is made up of long hours
G D C
That last about as long as you can breathe
G D C
And if you close your eyes and just let it roll on
G D C
You’ll wake up and find you’ve missed out on everything
[Chorus]
F C G
Won’t somebody tell me what I’m doing here?
F C G
Won’t somebody tell me where I’m going?
F C G
Won’t somebody spend a [blank] minute on me?
F C G
Pray for a hobo who’s gone wrong
[Verse 4]
G D C
The woods around my town have no ending
G D C
But I don’t really live there. I just don’t
G D C
And the lake that’s by my town has no bottom
G D C
I know someone who dove in but never came up
[FINAL Chorus]
F C G
Won’t somebody tell me what I’m doing here?
F C G
Won’t somebody tell me where I’m going?
F C G
Won’t somebody spend a [blank] minute on me?
F C G
Pray for a hobo who’s gone wrong
