Railroads chords

Capo on first

Intro - [F] | [Am] [Am] | [C] | [G] [G]

Well I [F]used to pray to Jesus but I [C]done backslid
[G]Carrying the burdens of a[Am] preacher's kid
[F]Drinking at the pulpit and [C]healing them lame
[G]Daddy was a-riding on the [Am]old death train

I [F]had me a woman but she [C]took my kid
When I [G]gambled all our money on a [Am]moonshine still
[F]Now I drink my whiskey from a [C]beat up flask
This [G]train done departed and it's [Am]goin' fast

Oh the[F] wheels, they [C]spin, they're [F]faster [C]than a speeding
[G]Airplane on a sunny day
And I [F]can't break [C]free cause I [F]can't bel[C]ieve it's [Am]me
So I'll [F]take your [C]bets, I'll [F]try me [C]walking down
A [G]narrow line with a life like mine
And you'll [F]never [C]see any [F]boy as[C] brave as [Am]me
Yeah I [F]hope that this old railroad delivers me

[F] | [Am] [Am] | [C] | [G] [G]

I'm still the [F]talk of this town, I'm still the [C]roll of their dice
I [G]found me a lover in a [Am]whorehouse wife
She [F]never knew her mama or the [C]money I've known
Don't [G]ever make a judgement if you [Am]ain't been shown

You never [F]walked in my shoes, you never [C]understood
Why [G]I was escaping anyw[Am]ay that I could
[F]Nobody knows I'm gonna [C]ride these rails
'Til the [G]dark comes over this [Am]prison cell

Oh the[F] wheels, they [C]spin, they're [F]faster [C]than a speeding
[G]Airplane on a sunny day
And I [F]can't break [C]free cause I [F]can't bel[C]ieve it's [Am]me
So I'll [F]take your [C]bets, I'll [F]try me [C]walking down
A [G]narrow line with a life like mine
And you'll [F]never [C]see any [F]boy as[C] brave as [Am]me
Yeah I [F]hope that this old railroad delivers me

[F] | [Am] [Am] | [C] | [G] [G]

Well, the [F]truth came out and the [C]church burned down
[G]Daddy's heart stopped on the [Am]edge of this town
I'm [F]out here searching for that [C]boy of my own
Don't [G]ever make a judgement if you [Am]ain't been shown

Oh the[F] wheels, they [C]spin, they're [F]faster [C]than a speeding
[G]Airplane on a sunny day
And I [F]can't break [C]free cause I [F]can't bel[C]ieve it's [Am]me
So I'll [F]take your [C]bets, I'll [F]try me [C]walking down
A [G]narrow line with a life like mine
And you'll [F]never [C]see any [F]boy as[C] brave as [Am]me
Yeah I [F]hope that this old railroad delivers me

[F] | [Am] [Am] | [C] | [G] [G]

Yeah I [F]hope that this old railroad delivers me
