Amelias Railroad Flat chords

CAPO: 4th Fret

[INTRO]
[C]

[VERSE 1]
Amelia, she worked for the [F]railroad
[G]Doing what, I never [C]knew
But I’d meet her down at the [Dm]depot
[G]Every day at half-past [C]two

[VERSE 2]
And we climbed the old wood [F]stairway
[G]Find the key below the [C]mat
Watch the sunset on the [Dm]freight yard
[G]Up at Amelia’s railroad [C]flat

[VERSE 3]
Russian vodka in the [F]freezer
[G]From the Polish liquor [C]store
Spanish rice, Moroccan [Dm]oranges
[G]Persian rugs upon the [C]floor

[VERSE 4]
And Amelia came from [F]Denmark
[G]She bought a pair of Siamese [C]cats
They’d wake us up there in the [Dm]morning
[G]At Amelia’s railroad [C]flat

[BRIDGE]
And every [Am]night the midnight ghost rode out on [F]time
[Am]Rolling down the line at twelve-o-[F]nine
And we’d [Am]sit and count the cars out on the [F]track
As they [C]shook the bedroom window of Amelia’s railroad [G]flat

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [F] [G] [C] [Dm] [G] [C]

[VERSE 5]
But the freight yards, they are [F]gone now
[G]And the buildings block the [C]sun
And Amelia sailed for [Dm]Demark
[G]Way back in Nineteen Eighty-[C]One

[VERSE 6]
But every time I hear a [F]freight train
Or [G]watch the sunset on the [C]tracks
Lord, I recall those summer [Dm]evenings
[G]Up at Amelia’s railroad [C]flat

[VERSE 7]
And every time I hear a [F]freight train
[G]Blowing lonely down the [C]track
I hear those bedroom windows [Dm]rattle
[G]Up at Amelia’s railroad [C]flat
Lord, how those bedroom windows [Dm]rattled
[G]Up at Amelia’s railroad [C]flat
