These chords get out-of-line when I post, but lets try... Waiting for a Train (D) words and music by Jimmie Rodgers (1929) 1 5 1 4 1 All a-round the water tank, waiting for a train, He put me off in Texas, a place I surely love, 4 1 6m A thousand miles a-way from home, Wide open spaces all a-round me, 2 5 Sleeping in the rain. The moon and stars a-bove. 1 5 1 4 1 I walked up to a brakeman, to give him a line of talk, Nobody seems to want me, or lend me a helping hand, 4 1 2 5 He says "If you've got money, I’ll see that you don't walk.” I'm on my way from Frisco, goin’ back to Dixie. -land. 1 5 1 4 3 Well, I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show, My pocket book is empty, and my heart is filled with pain, 4 1 6m He said “Get off you railroad bum,” I'm a thousand miles a-way from home, 2 5 1 And he slammed the box car door. (Yodel) Just waiting for a train. (Yodel)
