song: Train to Birmingham
by: cody canada
this is a kevin welch song, cody and the boys sometimes play it live it was on
the request list so here it is. Kevin plays this in the key of E, but i think
cody plays in the key of G.
G D
I've been riding on this train
Am C
Drinking whiskey for the pain just
G D C
Another good ol' boy headed home
G D
And every town I see
Am C
Seems to take a part of me
G D C
That's the price that you pay when you roam
Am Em
Well I cry when I have to
F C D
And I lie when I can
G B* Em* C
But I die a little slower
G D G
On the train to Birmingham
G D
I got holes in both my shoes
Am C
Got a guitar full of blues
G D C
And a one way ticket for my remedy
G D
It's the same ol' lonesome song
Am C
I've been singing all night long
G D C
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee
Am Em
Well I cry when I have to
F C D
And I lie when I can
G B* Em* C
But I die a little slower
G D G
On the train to Birmingham
SOLO
G D
Well every year I take this train
Am C
To Alabama in the rain
G D C
When I get that lonesome feelin' in my bones
G D
I never get to Birmingham
Am C
But gettin' there ain't the plan
G D C
I just like the feel of going home
Am Em
Well I cry when I have to
F C G
And I lie when I can
G B* Em* C
But I die a little slower
G D G
On the train to Birmingham
G D C D G
On the train to Birmingham
* ust play the bass note of the chords pretty quick
note: cody also sometimes skips the middle verse and just plays the first and last.
