Railroad Lady Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
She's [F]a railroad lady
Just [C]a little bit shady
[G]Spending her days on [C]the train
She's [F]a semi-good looker
looker
[C]The fast rails they took 'er
Now she's [G]tryin',
just tryin' to [F]get home again.
[C]

[Verse 2]
South Station on Boston to [F]the
stockyards of [C]Austin
From the Florida sunshine to
the New [G]Or lean's rain
[C]Now that the railpacks
Has [F]taken the be[C]st tracks
She's tryin',
just tryin' to [G]get home again.
[C]

[Verse 3]
She's a [F]railroad lady
Just a [C]little bit shady
[G]Spending her life on [C]the trains
Once a [F]pullman car traveler
Now the [C]brakeman won't have 'er
She's [G]tryin',
just tryin' to [F]get home again.
[C]

[Verse 4]
Once a high balling loner he
[F]thought he could [C]own 'er
He bought her a fur and a big diamond [G]ring
She [C]hocked them for cold cash
Left [F]town on [C]the Wabash
Never thinking of [G]home way back [C]then.

[Verse 5]
[C]
But the rails are now rusty
The [F]dining car's [C]dusty
The gold plated watches
have taken [G]their toll
The [C]railroads are dying
And the [F]lady she's cry[C]ing
On a bus to Kentucky [G]and home
that's her [C]goal.

[Verse 6]
She's a [F]railroad lady
Just a [C]little bit shaky
[G]Spending her life on [C]the train
She's [F]a semi-good looker
looker
But the [C]fast rails the took 'er
Now she' [G]tryin',
just tryin' to [F]get home again.
