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
