Johnny Cash - Waiting For A Train guitar chord

WAITING FOR A TRAIN

JOHNNY CASH

VERSE ONE:

F C7 F F7

All around the water tank

Bb Bbm F

Waiting for a train

Bb F Em

A thousand miles away from from

G7 C7

Sleeping in the rain

F C7 F F7

I pulled up to a freightman

Bb Bbm F

Just to give him a line of talk

Bb F

He said if you got money

G7 C7 F

I'll see that you don't walk

F C7 F F7

Well I havent got a nickel

Bb A7

Not a penny can I show

Bb F

He said get off you railroad bum

G7 C7 F

And he slammed that boxcar door

VERSE TWO:

Well he put me off in Texas

In a state I dearly love

The wide open spaces all around me

Ther moon and stars above

Nobody seems to want me

Or to lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco

Headin back to Dixieland

My pocket book is empty

And my heart is full of pain

Im a thousand miles away from home

Waitin for a train

I'm not sure which key Johnny sings it in. He had recorded this song on the

album Blood, Sweat, and Tears: and on the first volume of Unearthed(Who's Gonna

Cry). I think the unearthed version is in E. But I put the chords in F because,

that's the way Jimmie Rodgers sings it. But for easy chording, the key of G is

good.
