Good Old American Guest

C                           
Well I'm longing to ride on a 
              C7
freight train
         F                      
Put a slouch hat down low on the 
   C
ears
I'm yearning to leave this old town 
          C7
on the flight
          D7                       
And lose all my troubles and cares
G7

     C                      
In this day of airplanes and 
        C7
highways
     F                           
Hey the slow way is sometimes the 
  C
best
       F                  C    
I'm longin? to ride on a freight 
    A
train
          D7         G7       C
And be a good old american guest

[Chorus]
 C                                 
I wanna live on the land that I've 
                   C7
loved and I've labored for
Continues after the ad
      F                      C
And spend a few days headed west
      F                    C   
I'm longin? to ride on a freight 
    A
train
          D7         G7       C
And be a good old american guest

[Verse]
C                                  
Well, the pressures of life they 
C7
got to me
      F                       C
And they got down deep in my soul
I'm tired of the rat-race wanna go 
              C7
back to the slow pace
            D7                  
And hear a fast train rattle and 
  G7
roll

[Chorus]
C                                 
I wanna live on the land that I've
                   C7
 loved and I've labored for
      F                      C
And spend a few days headed west
      F                    C   
I'm longin? to ride on a freight 
    A
train
          D7         G7       C
And be a good old american guest

[Chorus/Outro]
C                                 
I wanna live on the land that I've
                   C7
 loved and I've labored for
      F                      C
And spend a few days headed west
      F                    C   
I'm longin? to ride on a freight 
    A
train
          D7         G7       C
And be a good old american guest
                F               
Oh, yes I'm longing to ride on a 
    C       A
freight train
           D7       G7        C
And be a good old american guest,
