Merle Haggard - Waitin For A Train Chords

[Intro]
D x4
 
[Verse]
D                          G             D
All around the water tanks waiting for a train
  G               D             E               A
A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain
  D                          G                  D
I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk
   G                  D          E                  A
He says if you’ve got money I’ll see that you don’t walk
  D                          G           D
I haven’t got a nickel not a penny can I show
    G               D                   E                   A
Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed that boxcar door

[Verse]
   D                       G              D
He put me off in Texas the place I dearly love
G                     D            E                  A
Wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up above
D                          G                 D
Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand
    G              D                E             A
I’m on my way from Frisco I’m going back to Dixie Land
          D                          G                D
Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain
      G               D             E       A     D
I’m a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train

D                          G                 D
Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand
    G              D                E             A
I’m on my way from Frisco I’m going back to Dixie Land
          D                          G                D
Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain
      G               D             E       A     D
I’m a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train
