Transcendental Ramblin Railroad Blues Chords & Lyrics - Colter Wall

[INTRO]

[C] Lay me down [F]easy
[G] Lay me down [C]hard
Light my cigarette and [F]make my bed
[G] Somewhere beneath the [C]stars

[VERSE 1]

[C] I was born a blue c[F]hild
[G] Of the wild western [C]sky
But I left my prairie [F]home
[G] Found a boxcar for to [C]ride
Now I'm way down in O[F]kema
[G] Earning blisters on my f[C]eet
With my guitar and my [F]buck knife
[G] Thumbing down Woody Guthrie St[C]reet

[CHORUS]

[C] Lay me down [F]easy
[G] Lay me down [C]hard
Light my cigarette and [F]make my bed
[G] Somewhere beneath the [C]stars
Don't look for me in [F]glory
[G] Don't look for me b[C]elow
'Cause I'll be riding on that f[F]reight
[G] Where the souls of ramblers [C]go

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[C] - [F] - [G] - [C]

[VERSE 2]

[C] And there's a sadness that [F]follows
[G] Most everywhere I [C]roam
You can see it on my [F]smile
[G] You can smell it on my c[C]lothes
Sometimes all that [F]running
[G] It never lasts too l[C]ong
So keep me good and l[F]oaded
[G] And I'll keep singing [C]songs

[CHORUS]

[C] Lay me down [F]easy
[G] Lay me down [C]hard
Light my cigarette and [F]make my bed
[G] Somewhere beneath the [C]stars
Don't look for me in [F]glory
[G] Don't look for me b[C]elow
'Cause I'll be riding on that f[F]reight
[G] Where the souls of ramblers [C]go

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[C] - [F] - [G] - [C]

[VERSE 3]

[C] If I don't leave here [F]tomorrow
[G] I believe I'll blow out my [C]brains
But either way there'll be [F]sorrow
[G] And you won't be seeing me [C]again

[CHORUS]

[C] Lay me down [F]easy
[G] Lay me down [C]hard
Light my cigarette and [F]make my bed
[G] Somewhere beneath the [C]stars
Don't look for me in [F]glory
[G] Don't look for me b[C]elow
'Cause I'll be riding on that f[F]reight
[G] Where the souls of ramblers [C]go
