[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am]
[F][Am][Dm][Am]
[F][Am][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[C]I'd play the Red Riv[Am]er Valley[C][Bb]
[Am]He'd sit i[G]n the kitchen and [Am]cry
Run his [F]fingers through
seventy [C]years [G]of [Am]living
I [F]wonder, Lord, has every well [Dm]I drilled
[G]gone [Gsus4]dry?[G]
We was friends, me and this [C]old man
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting for
a train
[F]

[Verse 2]
[Dm][Gsus4]
He's a drift[C]er and a driller of [Bb]oil wells
[Dm]He's[G] an old school man
of the [Am]world
He taught me [F]how to drive his car
when he's too drunk [G]to[Am]
He'd [F]wink and give me money
[Dm]for [G]the girls
And our lives was like some
old Western [C]movie
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting for
a train
[F][Am][Dm][Gsus4]

[Verse 3]
[G]Fro[C]m the time that I could walk
he'd take me with [Bb]him
[Dm]To a[G] place called Green Frog[Am] Café
It was [F]old men with beer guts
and dom[C]inos[Am]
[F]Lying about their [Dm]lives while
[G]they played
Yeah I was just a kid,
they all called [C]me Sidekick
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting
for a train
[F][Dm][Gsus4]

[Verse 4]
[G]One day[C] I looked up,
he was pushing [Bb]eighty
[Am]Had [G]brown tobacco stains
all down [Am]his chin
[F]To me he's one of the
heroes of this [C]country[Am]
So [F]why's he all dressed [Dm]up
like them old [G]men?
He's drinking beer,
playing [Gsus4]Moon and [G]Forty- Two[C]
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting
for a train
[F][Dm][Gsus4]

[Verse 5]
On the [C]day before he died
[G]I went to see [C]him[Bb][Am]
[G]I was grown, he was almost gon[Am]e
So we just [F]closed our eyes
and dreamed us up a kitchen
[C]And[Am] sang ano[Dm]ther verse
to that old [Gsus4]song[G]
Come on, Jack,
that son of a bitch is [C]coming
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train

[Verse 6]
Like [Am]desperados waiting for [F]a train
Like [Am]desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for [F]a train
[Am]
