Waiting For A Train(Chords)

	        G             
All around the water tank 
C             G 
Waiting for a train 
  C               G 
A thousand miles away from home 
A7              D 
Sleeping in the rain  
  G 
I walked up to a brakeman 
C                     G       
To give him a line of talk 
   C                    G 
He says, 'If you've got money 
     A7                 D 
I'll see that you don't walk.' 
  G 
I haven't got a nickel 
      C           G 
Not a penny can I show 
              C                 A7 
He said, 'Get off, you railroad bum.' 
   C           D       G 
He slammed the box car door 
(yodel) 
 
He put me off in Texas 
A place I surely love 
Wide open spaces 'round me 
The moon and stars above 
Nobody seems to want me 
Or lend me a helping hand 
I'm on my way from Frisco 
Goin' back to Dixieland 
My pocket book is empty 
And my heart is filled with pain 
I'm a thousand miles away from home 
Just waiting for a train  
 
(yodel)
