lyrics

God’s Perfect Hobo BPM 106 Key of Am
written by Bob Menzies November 30, 2012 /2016

INTRO – G C D G
G C
We broke up when the gas in the car ran dry
D G
No place left that we wanted to drive
G C
We broke up when the salt in the shaker was gone
D
We broke up when all the laundry was done (2-3-4)

PRE-CHORUS 1
So if you [Em] see me by the [D]side of the road
And I [G]look like a hobo that [Em]nobody knows
Just [Am]give me a nod as you [Am7] slowly walk by
And you [D] don’t need to cry (2-3-4)

CHORUS 1

I’m G God’s Perfect Hobo I got Em nothin to gain

I [Am] lives on the border of [D7]Illusion and pain

I [G] loves you for nothin, you can [Em] keep your spare change
I’m [Am] God’s Perfect Hobo [D7]….I’m [G]not gonna change G

VERSE 2
I’m a [G]perfect stranger and it's [C] hard to be perfect
I'm a [D] defective lover and it’s [G] no big secret
I need [G] nothing from [C] no-one I’ve got all that I need
I [D] wish you much happiness I [D] wish you godspeed PRE-CHORUS 2…………………….
CHORUS 2
