[N]
[G#] [C#]
All around the water tank, [F#] waiting for a [C#] train.
[F#] A thousand miles [C#] away from home, [D#]
sleeping in the rain.
[C#] I walked up to a breakman, just [F#] to give him a line of [C#]
talk.
He [F#] said, if [C#] you've got money, [D#] I'll see that you [G#] don't walk.
Well, [C#] I haven't got a nickel, [F#] not a penny can I show.
[C#] He [F#] said, get off, [C#m] you railroad bum, and he swam the boxcar [C#] door.
[G#]
[C#]
Well, he put me off in Texas, [F#] a state I dearly [C#] love.
The [F#] wide open spaces all [C#] around me, the [D#] moon and stars above.
[G#] [C#] Nobody seems to want me, nor [F#] to lend me a helping [C#] hand.
[F#] I'm on my way [C#] from Frisco, [D#] heading back to
[G#] Dixieland.
My [C#] pocketbook is empty, my [F#] heart is full of [C#] pain.
I'm [F#] a thousand miles [C#] away from home, [D#] waiting [G#m] for a [C#] train.
[G#]
