Merle Haggard - Waiting For A Train guitar chord

WAITING FOR A TRAIN

KEY: E

INTRO: E A E A E A E A

VERSE:

E B7 E A E

All around the water tanks waiting for a train

A E F# B7

A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain

E B7 E A E

I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk

A E F# B7

He says if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk

E B7 E A E

I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show

A E F# B7 E

Get off, get off you railroad bum and he slammed that boxcar door

VERSE:

He put me off in Texas the place I dearly love

Wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up above

Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco I'm going back to Dixieland

Though my pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train

BREAK: E A E A E F# B7 E

TAG:

Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco I'm going back to Dixieland

Though my pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train
