[D] [Em] [D]
And I'd play the red-ribbed ballet
[C] And [G]
[A] he'd sit in the kitchen [Bm] and cry
And run [G] his [F#m] fingers [Em] through seven [D] days [F#] [Bm] of living
And [G] wonder, [F#m] Lord, as [Em] ever, will I drill [D] gone dry
[A] Oh, his friends, me and [D] this [F#] old man
Was [Bm] like desperadoes waiting for [G] a train
[Bm] Like desperadoes waiting for [G] a train
Well, [F#m] [Em]
[A] [D] he's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
[C] And [G] [A] an old-school man [Bm] of the world
He taught [G] me how [F#m] to drive [Em] his car when he's [D] too drunk [F#m] to

[A] And I just kid that they [G] all [D] called his [F#] sidekick
Was [Bm] like desperadoes waiting for [G] a train
Like [Bm] desperadoes waiting for [G] a train
And [Bm] [Em] [E] [A] [D] one day I looked up and he's pushing 80
[C] And [Em] [A] has brown tobacco stains all [Bm] down his chin
[G] Well, to me [F#m] he's one [E] of the heroes of [D] this country
[Bm] So [G] why [F#m] is he all [E] dressed up [A] like them old men
Drinking beer [D] and playing [A] moon and [D] 42
Just [Bm] like a desperado waiting for a [G] train
Like [Bm] a desperado waiting [G] for a train
[Bm] [Em] [A] And in [D] the day before he [G] died [D] I went to see him
[Am] [G]
[A] And I [D] was grown [A] and he was almost [Bm] gone
So we [G] just closed [F#m] our [Em] eyes and dreamed [D] us up a [F#] kitchen
[Bm] And
