Highwaymen - Welfare Line guitar chord

The Highwaymen - Welfare Line

D

Well now, boys I've been to Bethlehem

G

Rode there on a big steam train

D

Lost two fingers in the steel wheels

A D

And I ain't goin' back again.

D

I fought for my country

G

Lord knows I did my best

D

Crawlin' cross some foreign field

A D

They pinned a ribbon to my chest.

Chorus:

G

So pass around the bottle boys

D

Let's talk about old times

Night's rollin' in, it's cold as sin

A D

Here on the Welfare Line.

D

Served on a Georgia road gang

G

Couldn't pay the debts I owed

D

Cause I ain't made of silver

A D

And I ain't ever seen no gold.

D

I still remember Rachel

G

Soft as a velvet gown

D

They laid her in a pauper's grave

A D

On the other side of town.

Chorus:

D G D A D

D

Now some folks are born to money

G

You know I wish 'em well

D

If the Devil should ever want my soul

A D

I swear I'd never sell.

Chorus:
