This is a wonderful song on a wonderful album by a wonderful band.
Enjoy!
AA7
Down the track this morning she did stroll
DA
In an accident her foot got caught in a hole
A
I’m going to tell you the truth
D
Die for a touch of that cold hand
AEE7E7E7E7
I’d be crying every time the Southern makes it’s run
A
I’m going to buy them all
D
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
AEA
Trials and troubles are heavy for me
AA7
She’s a ramblin’ gal bound to leave her home
DA
I begged my brown skin please don’t leave me alone
A
I’m going to make amends
D
Bound to cry to touch her hand
AEE7E7E7E7
I’m going to ride that line ‘till I see that black train come
A
I’m going to buy them all
D
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
AEA
Trials and troubles are heavy for me
AA7
Now people that Southern Pacific make her run
DA
From Chapel Hill to the state of Washington
A
Round the bend at 40 miles
D
20 tons of loaded frieght a-comin' on
AEE7E7E7E7
Florscheim’s stuck and it won’t come out my good gal’s dead and gone
A
I’m going to buy them all
D(stop)
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
AEA
Trials and troubles are heavy for me
A(stop) EA
Trials and troubles are heavy for me
