Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]All[D] ar[G]ound th[D]e water tow[G]er
[C]Waiting for a [G]train
A [C]thousand miles [G]away from home
[A]Sleeping in the [D]rain I [G]walked
up [D]to a brake[G]man
Just to [C]give him a line of [G]talk
He [C]said if you've got [G]money[E]
I'll [A]see that you don't [D]walk
Well I [G]haven't [D]got a nick[G]el
Not a [C]penny can I [G]show
Get [C]off, get off you [G]rail
road [E]bum
[A]And he slammed that [D]boxcar door

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][D][G][C][G]
[C][G][E][A][D][G][D][G][C]
[G][C][G][E][A][D][G]

[Verse 2]
Well, he [G]put me [D]off in [G]Texas
[C]A state I dearly [G]love
The [C]wide open spaces all [G]around me
The [A]moon and stars up [D]above
[G]Nobody [D]seems to want [G]me
Nor to [C]lend me a helping [G]hand
I'm [C]on my way from [G]Frisco[E]
Going [A]back to [D]Dixieland
My [G]pocketbook [D]is emp[G]ty
My [C]heart is full [G]of pain
I'm a [C]thousand miles [G]away from [E]home
Just [A]waiting [D]for a train
[G][D][G]
