Verse 1
D
With a stuffed
bandana on a stick
He travels late so he can get lost quick
G
It's all he needs and it's all he owns
D
Ain't got no family, ain't got no home
A
They call the troll and the tramp
A beggar and a bum
G
A gypsy and a clown
But he's not a single one
D
He's a lonesome hobo
with a hole in his shoe
G
Just a lonesome hobo and
D
he's got the blues
With that bindle sack, he's on the fly
Probably live that way until the day he dies
G
Call him what you want,
he'll keep chugging ahead
D
The only home he knows is
G
D
that old ton of lead
A
He's a vagabond, a wayfaring soul
Aaug
G
Only time he feels at home
is when he's on a roll
D
He's a lonesome hobo with
so much to see and do
G
Just a lonesome hobo and
D
he's got the blues
Brown paper bag, bottle of liquid heat
And a cheap cigar stuck between his teeth
G
Got a gravelly voice, got scraggly hair
D
He's got a big beer belly,
but he just don't care
A
When he's high on spirits,
he keeps his profile low
Aaug
G
Never cries when he's dry,
hungry, or cold
D
He's a lonesome hobo,
never means to be rude
G
Just a lonesome hobo,
D
and he's got the blues
Hasn't held a steady job since
he got back from the war
He's too proud to beg,
so he's always too poor
G
He's bound to ramble,
he was born to roam.
D
He can tell funny stories till
the cows come home.
A
Sometimes he works,
but most of the time he plays.
Aaug
G
Somehow he gets by without
a penny to his name.
D
He's a lonesome hobo on
his way to somewhere new.
G
Just a lonesome hobo and he's
D
G
D
got the blues.
A
G
D
Once he had a woman but
she flew the coop
Now it's newspaper
blankets and mulligan
stew
Through
G
Rocky
Mountains and
Midwest farms
D
Rolling on the tracks until
he's back in her arms
A
He gets cold cause he's old but
the soup bowl's free
G
sleeps under stars or when it rains a pine
D
tree he's a lonesome hobo finding
G
ways to make do just a lonesome hobo and
D
he's got the blues with a sideways view
his destination's unknown trees fly by but
G
his bird has flown on track on
D
schedule going nowhere fast as he crosses
the ties on the rails of his past
A
had his share of hard luck his share of handouts
Aaug
G
he may be down but never down
D
and now he's a lonesome hobo who always
G
A
pulls through just a lonesome hobo and
D
he's got the blues pops a train at night
jumps a ride all day across the
great divide, prairies and plains.
G
The boxcar gets him where
he wants to go,
D
and deep down inside he's
got a heart of gold.
A
Never believed in the devil,
never believed in
G
God, but he's too scared to steal,
borrow, cheat, or rob.
D
He's a lonesome hobo, never graced a
He's just a lonesome hobo
and he's got the blues
He's had a ragged life,
all ripped and torn
He's been that way since
the day he was born
G
He never stops unless
it runs out of steam
D
The whistle wakes him up from
crazy hobo dreams
A
He's been no stranger to trouble
or telling white lies
G
Someday he's gonna catch the
West, bound to die.
D
He's a lonesome hobo,
a little like me and you.
D
Just a lonesome hobo, and he's got the blues.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
