Jimmy Buffett - Railroad Lady guitar chord

Railroad Lady

By: Jimmy Buffett, Jerry Jeff Walker

Chorus:

F

She's a railroad lady

C

Just a little bit shady

G7 C

Spendin' her days on the train

F

She's a semi-good looker

C

But the fast rails they took her

G7 F G C

Now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

C C7 F C

South Station in Boston to the freightyards of Austin

G7

From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain

C C7

Now that the railpacks

F C

Has taken the best tracks

G7 C

She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

Chorus:

She's a railroad lady

Just a little bit shady

Spendin' her life on a train

Once a pullman car traveller

Now the brakeman won't have her

She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

Once a high ballin' loner he thought he could own her

Bought her a fur and a big diamond ring

She hocked 'em for cold cash

Left town on the Wabash

Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then

But the rails are now rusty

The dinin' car's dusty

Gold plated watches have taken their toll

Yeah the railroads are dyin'

And the lady she's cryin'

On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal

Chorus:

She's a railroad lady

Just a little bit shady

Spendin' her life on a train

She's a semi-good looker

But the fast rails they took her

Now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

C G7 F G C

Yes on a bus to Kentucky and home once again
