Here's a tune, been one of my favorites and I'm sure that you'll recognize it.
It's one called One of My Favorites.
Well, well.
Well, you can hardly get around that.
I hear that train a-comin'.
It's comin' around the bend.
[F#]
[Em]
That's the train comin' [E] around the bend there.
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
Lord, [A] I'm stuck in post-prison.
Time [E] keeps [C#]
draggin' by.
Well, that'll make you eyes smart.
Every time [B] I hear that freight train,
I hang my head and I cry.
Yeah, cry.
Well, when I was just a baby, my mama told me, son,
Always be a good boy.
Don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in [D] Reno.
[E]
Don't watch him die.
That's that, Mom.
Every time I hear that freight train,
I hang my head and I cry.
Oh, pick it out one time.
Look at this.
[G] [E]
[G]
[E]
[E] [Em] Oh, this part feels good.
[B] More like that.
[E] It's funny, I thought you were sittin' back here.
Looks like a
bunch
in
a sack.
Well, um
it's
interlude.
One, two, three.
About that, I surely will
have
a
I bet there's some [Em] people eatin' in that fancy dining car.
They're probably smokin' whiskey, drinkin' a big cigar.
[E] But I know I had it [Am] comin'.
See what I was doin' then?
Had my thumb on top of a slate and it go
der,
der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der.
But
Well,
[A]
[Em]
[A]
every year that part's gettin' harder and harder to [E] do.
All I do is cry.
I'm rumblin', huh?
Every [B] time I hear that refrain one more time
I
hang my head and I cry.
[Em] I think we've had it, Luther.
We'd better take it out, or I'm still a-hatin', huh?
