Strumming
Capo: 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
Great interpretation of the classic Ramblin Jack Elliot.
I chose to submit the standard tuning version in D with capo 3, similar to John Henry's part in the song.
Billy Bragg dropped his tuning one full step and plays in G (see brackets).
[Chorus]
D (G) F#7 (B7)
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
G (C) E (A7)
He never worked, and he never will,
A (D) D (G)
I'm gonna ride Railroad Bill.
A (D) D (G)
I wanna ride ol' Railroad Bill.
[Verse]
D (G)
Railroad Bill's a mighty mean man
G (C)
Shot the light out of the brakeman's hand.
A (D) D (G)
I'm gonna ride Railroad Bill.
A (D) D (G)
I wanna ride ol' Railroad Bill.
It goes on like this.
Have fun with it.
