_ _ [G] _ I'd play in the Red _ [D] River Valley
_ [C] And [B] _ _ [A] he'd sit in the _ kitchen [G] and cry
_ [B] _ _
[G] And run his fingers [Em] through _ _ [Gm] seventy [D] _ years
[Bm] Living _ [G] the wonder [D] lot as [Em] ever

_ _ _ [D] he's a drifter _ and a driller _ of oil wells
[C] An [B] _ _ [A] _ _ old school man of [Bm] the world _
He _ [G] taught me [D] how to [E] drive his car
And [D] he's too drunk to
[G] _ _ _ And he'd wink [D] and give me [Em] money _ for [A] the girls

And _ [G] there was old [E] men with big _ [G] guts and [D] _
_ [G] _ dominoes
_ _ Lying about their [E] lives [G] while they [A] _
played

_ _ _ [D] one day I looked up and he's pushing 80 _ _
[C] And _ [B] _ _ [A] there's brown tobacco stains all [Dm] [B] down his chin _
_ _ _ _ [G] Well, damn, he's one [Em] of the heroes of [D] this country
[G] _ [Bm] So _ _ [G] _ why's he all [E] dressed [G] up like [A] them old men
_ _ _ _ Drinking beer and playing Moon _ [D] 42 _
[G] Was [Bm] like _ _ desperadoes waiting _ [G] for a train _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] Was like _ _ _ desperadoes waiting [G] for a train _ _

_ _ [Dm] then the day [D] before he died I went to see him _ _
[C] _ _ [B] _ [A] And I was grown and he was almost [D] _ [B] gone
So _ [G] we just closed [Em] our eyes and dreamed [D] us of the kitchen _
[G] And _ _ _ [D] sang another [E] verse of [G] that [A] old song
_ _ _ _ _ _ My home jacket, son of a bitch is coming
[D] And _
[G] _ [Bm] we're _ _ desperadoes waiting [G] for a train _ _ _ _
