C# F# C# All around the water tank waiting for a train F# C# D#7 G#7 A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk Well I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door Well he put me off in Texas a place I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco heading back to Dixie Land My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain I'm a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train You can simplify chords by removing barre
