Capo: 5
Here's the video I used to help figure this one out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIFvhgMj6nc
Capo on 5
WelCadd9l I used to pray to Jesus but I dGone backslid
DCarrying the burdens of aEm preacher's kid
Cadd9Drinking at the pulpit and healGing them lame
DDaddy was a-riding on the Emold death train
I Cadd9had me a woman but she tooGk my kid
When I Dgambled all our money on a Emmoonshine still
Cadd9Now I drink my whiskey from a beatG up flask
This Dtrain done departed and it'sEm goin' fast
OCadd9h the wheels, theyG spin, they'rCadd9e faster thGan a speeding
DAirplane on a sunny day
ACadd9nd I can't breakG free causCadd9e I can't belGieve it's Emme
So I'Cadd9ll take your bGets, I'llCadd9 try me walGking down
A Dnarrow line with a life like mine
And youCadd9'll never Gsee anyCadd9 boy as brGave as mEme
Yeah I Dhope that this old railroad delivers me
Same chords repeat on the rest of the verses/choruses
I'm still the talk of this town, I'm still the roll of their dice
I found me a lover in a whorehouse wife
She never knew her mama or the money I've known
Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown
You never walked in my shoes, you never understood
Why I was escaping anyway that I could
Nobody knows I'm gonna ride these rails
'Til the dark comes over this prison cell
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding
Airplane on a sunny day
And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me
So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down
A narrow line with a life like mine
And you'll never see any boy as brave as me
Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
Well, the truth came out and the church burned down
Daddy's heart stopped on the edge of this town
I'm out here searching for that boy of my own
Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding
Airplane on a sunny day
And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me
So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down
A narrow line with a life like mine
And you'll never see any boy as brave as me
Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
Yeah I Dhope that this old railroad delivers me
