Railroad Lady

            F                  C
She's a railroad lady, just a little
 bit shady,
         G7                C    C7
Spending her days on the train.
         F                         
She's a semi good looker,  but the 
 C
fast rails they took 'er,
           G7                     
Now she's tryin', just tryin' to 
F    G7     C
get home again.

      C           C7         
South Station in Boston to the 
                    C
freight yards of Austin,
From the Florida sunshine to the New
          G7
 Orleans rain.
  C           C7             F   
Now that the rail packs have 
      C
taken the best tracks,
                             G7 
She's tryin', just tryin' to get 
         C     C7
home again.

[Chorus]
        C           G7          F
Once a highballin' loner, he 
              C
thought he could own 'er,
Bought her a fur coat and a big 
         G7
diamond ring.
      C              C7           
She hocked them for cold cash, 
   F           C
left town on the Wabash,
                        G7       
Never thinkin', never thinkin' of 
                 C      C7
home 'way back then.

         C             C7      
But the rails are now rusty, the 
   F           C
dining cars dusty,
The gold plated watches have taken 
       G7
their toll.
      C           C7           F 
The railroads are dying, and the 
            C
lady, she's crying,
                           G7 
On a bus to Kentucky, and home 
             C      C7
that's her goal.

[Chorus]
         F                    C
She's a railroad lady, just a little
 bit shady,
  G7                       C      C7
Spending her life on the trains.
          F                        
Once a Pullman car trav'ler, now 
   C
the brakeman won't have her,
          G7                  F
She's tryin', just tryin' to get 
   G7     C
home again.

       C        G7             
Yeah, on a bus to Kentucky, then 
        F      G7       C    F G7 C
home   once   again.
