Ride The Rails

  G                          C
I hid out,in a boxcar,on a slow 
                G
train,heading west
 G                             D
Dressed like a railman,so not to 
seem conspicous
      G                
The train whistled four 
         C
times,indicating,
     G
a track change,
     C              G         D  
So I hopped off in Albertie,near 
            G
Portage and Main.
Chorus
C                        D5       
Ride the rails heading west,to the
 D             G
 town I love best,
   C             D5               
I can only tell myself,good luck 
      D
to the rest.

C                         D5     
Ride the rails,ride the rails,to 
     D         G
the city out west.
 C                 D5            
(Ride the rails to that city I 
D    G
love best.)
omit from last Chorus.
Verse2
    G                          C  
The folk there are gentle, the 
      G
women so nice
    G                   D
The Hospitality Inn,I sought for a 
bite,
  G                        C   
A bar in the Cabaret,to quench a 
        G
mans thirst,
 C             D                  
Cigars on the pillow,and a rack of
       G
 clean shirts,
Chorus
    G                          C
There's the place that's just right,
     C               G
for a tuckered mans head,
 C                    D
With a doubled up mattress,on a four
 postered bed,
 C              D             
Sheets of pure silk,a feathered 
            G
pillow to match,
     C          A         D   
Tattered and tired I lay down to 
     G
rest.

Chorus,then last line,{Slowly}
C                   D            
Ride the rails to the city,for my
       G
 final rest.
