Rita Coolidge - Desperados Waiting For The Train Chords

VERSE:
 A                           G D
I'd sing the Red River Valley
 E                          F#m
He'd sit in the kitchen and cry
         D              Bm E     A        F#m
Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
         D               Bm                Esus4 E
Wonder "Lord, has every well I drilled run dry?"
 
         E                    A
We were friends, me and this old man
 
 
CHORUS:
      F#m                        D
Like desperados waiting for the train
 F#m                        D    Bm E
Desperados waiting for the train
 
 
VERSE:
        A                                G D
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
    E                     F#m
An old school man of the world
           D               Bm
Taught me how to drive his car
               A      F#m
When he's too drunk to
           D                   Bm          Esus4 E
Then he'd wink and waste some money on the girls
 
     E                          A
Our life like some old western movie
 
 
CHORUS:
      F#m                        D
Like desperados waiting for the train
 F#m                        D    Bm E
Desperados waiting for the train
 
 
VERSE:
          A                                          G D
From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him
      E                        F#m
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
            D            Bm   E        A  F#m
There were old men with beer guts and dominos
 D                 Bm         Esus4        E
Lying 'bout their lives while they'd played
 
       E                               A
I was just a kid they all called his "Sidekick"
 
 
CHORUS:
      F#m                        D
Like desperados waiting for the train
 F#m                        D    Bm E
Desperados waiting for the train
 
 
VERSE:
     A                                     G D
One day I looked up and he's pushin' eighty
         E                                F#m
There's brown tobacco stains all down his chin
   D                   Bm             A     F#m
To me he's one of the heroes of this country
    D            Bm                     Esus4 E
So why's he all dressed up like that old man
 
          E                               A  F
Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two
 
 
CHORUS:
        F#m                       D
Like a desperado waiting for the train
 F#m                       D    Bm E
Desperado waiting for the train
 
 
VERSE:
 A                                    G D
Just before he died, I went to see him
E                             F#m
I was grown and he was almost gone
            D                   Bm        E     A     F#m
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
     D            Bm               Esus4 E
And sang another verse to that old song
 
  E                                   A
"Come on, Jack, swear this time it's comin' "
 
 
CHORUS:
       F#m                        D
We're desperados waiting for the train
      F#m                        D
Just desperados waiting for the train
 F#m                        D
Desperados waiting for the train
 F#m                        D
Desperados waiting for our train
