Desperados Waiting For the Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Ebdim][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'd sing the [A]Red [D]River Valley
And [Em]he'd sit in the kit[A]chen [Em]and [D]cry
Run his [G]fingers [Em]through seventy
[D]years of liv[Bm]in'
Wonder [G]Lord [D]has [Em]every well I drilled [A]ran dry
We were friends me and that [D]old man

[Verse 2]
Like [Bm]desperados waiting for [G]the train
Like [Bm]desperados waiting

[Interlude 1]
for the train
[G][Em][A]

[Verse 3]
He's a [D]drifter and a [A]driller of [D]oil wells
And an [Em]old school [A]man of t[D]he world
Taught me [G]how [D]to drive his [Em]car
when he's too [D]drunk [Bm]to
And he'd [G]wink and [D]give
[Em]me money for the girls[A]
And our lives was like some
old western [D]movie

[Verse 4]
Like [Bm]desperados waiting for [G]the train
Like [Bm]desperados waiting for the train
[G]

[Verse 5]
From [D]the time that I could
[A]walk he take me [D]with him
To [Em]a place called the [A]Green Frog [D]Cafe
There was [G]old [D]men [Em]with beer
guts and [D]dominoes
[Bm]Lyin[G]' bout their lives[Em]
while they'd [A]play
And I was just a kid that they
all called [D]his sidekick

[Verse 6]
Like [Bm]desperados waiting for [G]the train
Like [Bm]desperados waiting

[Interlude 2]
for the train
[G][Em][A][D]

[Verse 7]
Now I looked [A]up and he was
[D]pushin' eighty
And there's [Em]brown tobacco
[A]stains all down [D]his chin
To [G]me he's one [D]of the
[Em]heroes of [A]this [D]country[Bm]
So [G]why's he [Em]all dressed up
like some [A]old men
Drinking beer and playing moon [D]and 42

[Verse 8]
Like [Bm]desperados waiting for [G]the train
Like [Bm]desperados waiting for the train
[G]

[Verse 9]
[D]Then just before he [A]died
I went to see [D]him[Em]
I was grown and [A]he was [D]almost gone
We just [G]closed our eyes [Em]and dreamed
us [A]up a kit[D]chen[Bm]
[G]And sang [D]another [Em]verse
to that [A]old song
Don't cry Jack it's only Jesus [D]comin'

[Verse 10]
Like [Bm]desperados waiting for [G]the train
Like [Bm]desperados waiting for [G]the train
Like des[Bm]perados waiting for the train
