1.Verse: 

(D)Out on the freight lines there's (G) an old hobo (D) camp
Where a drunk man lay sleeping, a ragged old (A) tramp

(D)Is he somebody's husband, (A) somebody's (D) son? 

2.Verse:

(D)Every week the newspaper tells a (G) story of (D) rage
Where the victims lay scatterd all across the (A) front page

(D)Is he somebody's husband, (A) somebody's (D) son

Chorus: 

(G)From the death rows of prison to the (D) soup kitchen door
Each soul is an equal in the eyes of the (A) lord
(D)Though hatred sonsumes them, (G) once they were (D) loved
(D)They where somebody's husband, (A) somebody's (D) son

3.Verse:

(D)So out on your journy down the (G) highway of (D) life
Cherish your mother, crave the love of your (A) wife
(D)And forget not the outcast and the (G) homeless were (D) once
(D)somebody's husband, (A) somebody's (D) son

Chorus: 

(G)From the death rows of prison to the (D) soup kitchen door
Each soul is an equal in the eyes of the (A) lord
(D)Though hatred sonsumes them, (G) once they were (D) loved
