my band Leslie Can't Love plays this
 so I figured why not transcribe it.
Chords with words are first.  Some 
riffs are tabbed at the bottom.



into: G  F   C
VERSE 1:
           G               F      
It was the army train that took 
        C
her daddy from her

           G                F     
It was the bible train that took 
         C
her momma too

         Am                        
And that high loud whistle made her
 Dm    C   G
 horse run away

        G                   F     
But the straw the broke the 
           C
camel's back was you


           G                    
It was the government train that 
 F             C
took away her childhood

           G        F             
It was the KKK that took away her 
C
past

           Am                    
It was the white man's will that 
Dm      C   G
hers be broken

         G                   F    
But that barefoot girl could run 
         C
too fast


CHORUS:
C                                 
Because the world's too cold  for 
            Am
a girl like that with a

C                            G
Blackfoot soul  and a cowboy hat

     C                             
Everything she loved went down the 
       Am
dragon track

                  C        G    F
She had a fear of trains
   C



BRIDGE:
C                         G
In the beet fields of Montana

Dm                          Am
She's always coming on dead rails

C                           
to break the plow and whisper 
  G
"Honey,

Dm                        Am
bound to live is bound to fail"

C                        G
And in a park in San Francisco

Dm                          Am
her momma shrieks about the Lord

C                                  
And down the dead rails there's an 
G
echo

Dm                        Am
The wind is whistling all-aboard

CHORUS

VERSE2:  (same chords as before)
It was the wagon train that too away
 her country
It was the oil train that took away 
her land
She could have been the belle of the
 ponderosa
but that was not the fat man's plan
