Railroad Song chords

[VERSE]
When I [D]was a boy in the [G]days of the train [D]
I'd sit by the [Bm]tracks on a long summer d[A]ay
And I'd wave at the [G]brakesman
And he'd wave back at [D]me
While the thunderclouds roll[Bm]ed
[A]Out of East Ten[D]nessee

[VERSE]
[D]But the dreams[G] of a boy disappear when you're g[D]rown
And though I may d[Bm]ream, the railroads are g[A]one
The ties they are [G]rotten
And the tracks shot to [D]hell
Along with my dr[Bm]eams and the [A]old railroad [D]bell

[Chrous]
[D]In my d[G]reams I ride the ra[A]ils to Calif[D]ornia
Workin' din[G]ers and fa[A]rms along the w[D]ay
Or I'd h[G]op a ride to hi[A]de across the bor[D]der
With a bla[G]ck eyed girl bes[A]ide me all the w[D]ay
[D]Now the mountains are s[G]ilent
And the railroads are g[D]one
And the coal towns no l[Bm]onger hear the miners at d[A]awn
But the train whistle shr[G]ills out her memories to [D]me
While the thunde[Bm]rclouds roll [A]out of East Ten[D]nessee

[Chrous]
[D]In my d[G]reams I ride the ra[A]ils to Calif[D]ornia
Workin' din[G]ers and fa[A]rms along the w[D]ay
Or I'd h[G]op a ride to hi[A]de across the bor[D]der
With a bla[G]ck eyed girl bes[A]ide me all the w[D]ay
[D]Now the mountains are s[G]ilent
And the railroads are g[D]one
And the coal towns no l[Bm]onger hear the miners at d[A]awn
But the train whistle shr[G]ills out her memories to [D]me
While the thunde[Bm]rclouds roll [A]out of East Ten[D]nessee
