Waitin' For A Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
All [A]around the [D]water tank
[G]Sleepin' in the rai[D]n
[G]A thousand miles [D]away from home
[Esus4]Waitin' for a[A] train

[Verse 2]
I [D]walked up [A]to a brake- man
[D]Just [G]to give him a line of [D]talk
[G]He said if you've got [D]money
I'll [Esus4]see that you don't walk.[A]

[Verse 3]
Well I [D]haven't [A]got a [D]nickel
Not [G]a penny can I [D]show
[G]He said "Get off, you [D]railroad bum"
And [Esus4]he slammed the [A]boxcar door.
[D]

[Verse 4]
Well he put me [A]off in [D]Texas
[G]A state I dearly l[D]ove
With the [G]wide open spaces
All [D]around me

[Verse 5]
[E]The moon and stars [A]above
[D]Nobody [A]seems to [D]want me
Or [G]to lend a helping [D]hand
I'm [G]on my way from [D]Frisco

[Verse 6]
Heading [E]back to [A]Dixieland
My [D]pocketbook is empty
My [G]heart is full of [D]pain
I'm [G]a thousand miles [D]away from [Esus4]home[A][D][G][D][G][D]
[Esus4][A][D][A][D][G][D]
[G][D][E][A][D][A][D][G][D]
[G][D]
[Esus4]Wait in' [E]for [A]a train.
