[B]veniently [C5]five steps [B]from the [C5]mainline

In [D5]the west"
No time [C]or purpose [C5]as embers s[B]molder
[C]Holed up [C5]in pines of[B] green
[C5]Pablo [B]writes [C5]"dos" where mouths don't
share what their eyes [B]have seen

And highball, yeah I'll sing [G5]that
railroad song by the time
The sun is setting in the west

[A5]from[D5] conversations
with "old bill", a railroad bum,
At the acca train yard on a cold,
drunk December afternoon]
