David Allan Coe - Waiting For A Train guitar chord

Waiting For a Train--David Allan Coe

His take on the old Jimmie Rodgers classic. Different key, different lyrics (I think).

Corrections welcome.

Intro: Yodel, starting with E, halfway through change to A, then E again

E

All around the water tank

A E

Waiting for a train

A E

A thousand miles away from home

D7 B

Sleeping in the rain

E

I walked up to the brakeman

A E

To give him a line of talk

A E

He says if you've got money son

B A E

I'll see that you don't walk

INTRO

E

Well I haven't got a nickel

A E

Nor a penny could I show

A E

He said get off you railroad bum

D7 B

And slammed the boxcar door

E

He put me off in Texas

A E

A place I surely love

A E

With the wide open spaces

D7 B

With the moon and stars above

E

Nobody seemed to want me there

A E

Or lend a helping hand

A E

I'm a thousand miles away from home

B A E

Goin to Dixieland

(as a yodel, like INTRO) I've got the blues, I've got the blues

E

No blankets gathered round me

A E

To keep me from the cold

A E

I'm a thousand miles away from home

D7 B

Sleepin growin old

E

Nobody seems to want me

A E

Or lend a helping hand

A E

I'm a thousand miles away from home

B A E

Goin to Dixieland

Key change to A

A-D

A D A

Old times they are not forgotten
