Chan would [Am] climb up so high [G] on the foul screen

[C]
When we'd play, Chan was always [G] the winner
[Em] He [G]
was [Am] brave, never listened [D] to his shout
[E] [Am]
Afternoons, playing ball [G] by the old wall
[Am]
I'd announce and of course [G] be the star
[C] Kept my [G] records in old loose leaf notebooks
[Em] [G]
And today [Am] I think I still [D] know where they are
[G]
Railroad days, railroad [C] days, [G] railroad days
When I was young, in my [C] prime, [G] on my way

summer [Dm] [Am]
nights, drifters playing [G] on the hi-fi
Talking [Am]
about girls, all [G] preposterous lies

[Am] down one of mom's [Dm] lemon pies
Ten [Am]
o'clock, bringing groceries [G] from the market
Singing [Am]
[E] songs to the darkness of the [G] night
[C]
Even sang the parts the [G] instruments were playing
[Em] Life [G]
was [Am] free, dreams were really quite [D] alright

It's [E] [A] just like me, I'll be obsolete [Dm] one day
[G] Railroad days, [C] railroad days, [G] railroad days
