Boxcar Willie - From A Rolls To The Rails Chords

G                                C        G
Once he lived like a king and he had everything

                                   D7
All the world they say laid at his feet

         G                       C                       G
Yet with all his wealth and fame he played that cheatin? game

                       D7           G
And he wound up like a tramp on the street





               C                        G
He went from a Rolls to the rail from a mansion to dirty jails

                                      D7
From a penthouse to the jungle by the track

     G                       C                      G
From champagne to cheap wine right down to his last dime
  
                           D7            G
And now all he owns is the cloths on his back





                                C            G
He drove a big fancy car and he smoked big cigars

                                D7
Had everything that a man could own

         G                   C                 G
But wild women and song soon his money was all gone

                      D7      G
And now he rides in a boxcar alone




               C                        G
He went from a Rolls to the rail from a mansion to dirty jails

                                      D7
From a penthouse to the jungle by the track

     G                       C                      G
From champagne to cheap wine right down to his last dime
  
                           D7            G
And now all he owns is the cloths on his back
