Railroad Line

D                              G 
Well you might think that it’s 
     D
long ago
                             Bm    
But I can still see the black smoke
 A
 roll
 D            G D
 Back before 1959
Back before they tore out the 
A        D
railroad line
                        G      D
It used to be there was timber here
                            Bm   
So we took our teams to the woods 
     A
and cleared
D                      G        D
Enough to keep all our debts on time
Back before they tore out the 
 A       D
railroad line


[Chorus]

F#m        G               
Before the big trucks and the 
   D
highway
    F#m        G                  
The world came down those tracks 
     D
in my day
Life was a little different in my 
G      Em
prime
D                           
Back before they tore out the 
  A        D
railroad line


[Verse]
D                      G        D
Once we had a thriving railroad town
                               Bm  
We had our own post office and kids
          A
 running ‘round
           D                    G 
There were brand new houses and 
      D
one was mine
Back before they tore out the 
A        D
railroad line
                          G        
But then one day all the  timber’s 
D
gone
                        Bm         
And when profit dies it don’t take 
A
long
   D                     G        
To board the station and take the 
D
signs
                        A       
And tear out all of the railroad 
 D
line


[Chorus]
 F#m        G               
Before the big trucks and the 
   D
highway
    F#m        G                  
The world came down those tracks 
     D
in my day
Life was a little different in my 
G      Em
prime
D                           
Back before they tore out the 
  A        D
railroad line
