Butch Hancock

Butch Hancock - Boxcars guitar chord

(Em)Well, I gave all my money to the banker this month

Now I (Am)got no more money to (Em)spend

She smiled when she saw me comin' throught that door

When I (C)left, she said (B7)"Come back again"

Well I (Em)watched some lonesome boxcar wheels (Am)turnin'

down the tracks out of (Em)town

And it's on that lonesome railroad track

I'm (C)gonna lay my (B7)burden (Em)down

I (Em)looked for my little lady in the lost and found

But (Am)she had already been (Em)claimed

I'm gonna find me a ticket to ride

Through a (C)town that never (B7)had no name

(Em)Nobody may care where I go tonight

But (Am)baby if the truth be (Em)told

I'm goin down to the railroad tracks

Watch them (C)lonesome (B7)boxcars (Em)roll

I was (Em)raised on a farm the first years of my life

And (Am)life was pretty good, they (Em)say

I'll probably live to be some ripe old age

If that (C)dirty dog death won't (B7)stay outa my way

(Em)This world can take my money and my time

But it (Am)sure can't take my (Em)soul

An' I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks

Watch them (C)lonesome (B7)boxcars (Em)roll

There's some (Em)big ol' Buicks by the Baptist Church

(Am)Cadillacs at the Church of (Em)Christ

I parked my camel by an ol' haystack

I'll be (C)lookin' for that needle all (B7)night

You know there (Em)ain't a gonna be no radial tires

(Am)turnin' down the streets of (Em)gold

I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks

Watch them (C)lonesome (B7)boxcars (Em)roll

Have you (Em)ever hear the whistle on a fast freight train

(Am)beatin' out a beautiful (Em)tune

If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks (C)shinin'

by the (B7)light of the moon

If you (Em)ever felt the locomotive shake the ground

(Am)I know you don't need to be (Em)told

Why I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks

Watch them (C)lonesome (B7)boxcars (Em)roll
