Jerry Jeff Walker - Desperados Waiting For A Train guitar chord

D

Ya I've played the Red River Valley

A Bm

Sittin in the kitchen and cryed

G A D Bm

Run fingers through seventy years of livin

G Em A

And Wonder if everywhere the beer gone dry

A D

We was friends me and this old man

Chorus

Bm G

Desperados waiting for a train

Bm G Em A

Desperados waiting for a train

Soon as I could walk he'd take me with him

A place called the Green Rock Cafe

There was old men with beer guts and dominoes

Lying about their lives while they played

Now I was just a kid they all called me sidekick

Chorus

Ya he's a drifter, he's a driller of oil wells

He's an old school man of the world

He taught me how to drive his car when he's to drunk to

He'd wink and give me money for the girls

And our lives were like some old western movie

Chorus

One day I looked up and he was pushin eighty

Got brown tobacco stains all down his chin

And he's one of the hero's of this country

Now why is he dressed up like them old men

Just drinkin beer and playin moon and fourty two

Chorus

The day before he died I went to see him

Ya I was grown and he was almost gone

We closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen

We played another verse to that old song

(Spoken) Ya Jack you know that son of a bitch is comin

Chorus

Desperados waiting for a train
