[G] [D]
[G] [Em]
[F#] [G] All around the water tank, [C] waiting for [G] a train.
[C] I'm a thousand [G] miles away [E] from home, [A] sleeping [D] in the rain.
[G] I walked up to a brakeman,
[C] just to make a [G] line of talk.
[C] He said, son, you got [G] money, [E]
[A] I'll see that you [D] don't walk.
[G] Well, I have a gun, a nickel, [C] not a penny can I [G] show.
[C] Well, get off, get [G] off, you railroad [E]
bum.
[A] He slammed [D] the [G] boxcar door.
Oh, dee, oh, [D] dee, oh, dee, oh, [G] dee.
[Em]
[F#m] [G] [D]
[G]
Well, they put me on the Texas,
[C] state I dearly [G] love.
[C] Wide open spaces [G] all [E] around me, Lord.
[A] Moon and stars [D] above, [F#]
[G] my pocketbook is empty.
My [C] whole heart is filled [G] with pain.
[Em] I'm [C] one thousand miles [G] away [E] from home, and [A] I'm waiting [D] for [G] a train.
Oh, dee, oh, dee, oh, [D] dee, oh, [G] dee.
