Jerry Jeff Walker - Railroad Lady Chords

[Chorus]
F                            C
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
G7                          C     C7
Spent her whole life on the trains
       F                          C
She's a semi good-looker, but the fast rails they took 'er
      G7                     F        C
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
 
 
[Verse 1]
      C                        F                C
South Station in Boston to the freight yards of Austin
C                                   G7
Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
     C                            F         C
Well now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks
      C                      G7       C    C7
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
 
 
[Chorus]
        F                     C
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
    G7                          C     C7
She spent her whole life on the trains
        F                        C
She's a semi good-looker, and the fast rails they took 'er
      G7                     F         C
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

[Verse]
      C                       F                C
Once a high-ballin' loner, he thought he would own her
C                                         G7
He bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring
    C                              F            C
She hocked 'em for cold cash, left town on the Wabash
    C                         G7           C   C7
Not thinkin' not thinkin' of home way back then
 
        F                     C
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
    G7                          C    C7
She spent her whole life on the trains
       F                         C
Just a semi good-looker, but the fast rails they took 'er
       G7                    F         C
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

[Verse 2]
         C                        F             C
Yeah the rails are all rusty, the dining car's dusty
    C                                     G7
The gold plated watches have taken their toll
         C                           F         C
Yeah the railroads are dying, as the lady sits crying
     C                    G7              C   C7
On a bus to Kentucky, and home that's her goal
 
 
[Chorus]
        F                     C
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
    G7                          C    C7
She spent her whole life on the trains
     F                           C
Just a semi good-looker, but the fast rails that took 'er
      G7                     F        C
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
 
 
[Outro]
           G7                   F         C  G7 F  C
She's on a bus to Kentucky and home once again
