Boxcars Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Baug][Em]

[Verse 1]
Well, I [Em]gave all my
money to the banker this month
Now [Am]I got no more money
to [Em]spend
She smiled when she saw me
comin' through that door
When I [C]left she said, "Come back [B]again"
I [Em]watched them lonesome boxcar wheels
Turn[Am]in' down the tracks
out of [Em]town
And it's on that lonesome railroad track
I'm gonna [C]lay my [B]burden down
[Em][A][Em]

[Verse 2]
[A]
I [Em]was raised on a farm the
first years of my life
[A]Life was [Am]pretty good, [C]they [Em]say
I'll probably live to be some ripe ol' age
[C]If death'll stay out of my [B]way
This [Em]world can take my money and time
But it [Am]sure can't take my [Em]soul
I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
Watch them [C]lonesome[B][Em][A]
[Em]boxc[B]ars [Em]roll[A]

[Verse 3]
There's some [Em]big ol' Buicks at
the Baptist [Am]church
Caddilacs at the church of [Em]Christ
I parked my camel by an ol' haystack
I'll [C]be lookin' for that needle all [B]night
There [Em]ain't gonna be no radial tires
[Am]Turnin' down the streets [Em]of gold
I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
And watch them [C]lonesome [B]boxcar[Em]s roll

[Interlude 1]
[A][Em][A]
[Em][Am][Em][C]
[B][Em][Am][Em][B]
[Em][A][Em][G][A]

[Verse 4]
Now if you [Em]ever heard the whistle
[B]on [Em]a fast freight train
Beatin' [Am]out a beauti[C]ful [Em]tune
If you ever seen the cold
blue railroad tracks
[C]Shinin' by the light of the [B]moon
If you [Em]ever felt the locomotive
shake the ground
I [Am]know you don't have to [B]be [Em]told
Why I'm goin' down to
[B]the railroad [Em]tracks
And watch them [C]lonesome[B]
[Em]boxcars roll
[A][Em]

[Verse 5]
[A]
Yeah, [Em]I'm goin' down
to the railroad tracks
Watch them [C]lonesome [B]boxcars roll

[Outro 1]
