Ride The Rails

(início)

  G                          C                G
I hid out,in a boxcar,on a slow train,heading west
 G                             D
Dressed like a railman,so not to seem conspicous
      G                         C
The train whistled four times,indicating,
     G
a track change,
     C              G         D              G
So I hopped off in Albertie,near Portage and Main.
Chorus
C                        D5        D             G
Ride the rails heading west,to the town I love best,
   C             D5                     D
I can only tell myself,good luck to the rest.
C                         D5          D         G
Ride the rails,ride the rails,to the city out west.
 C                 D5            D    G
(Ride the rails to that city I love best.)
omit from last Chorus.
Verse2
    G                          C        G
The folk there are gentle, the women so nice
    G                   D
The Hospitality Inn,I sought for a bite,
  G                        C           G
A bar in the Cabaret,to quench a mans thirst,
 C             D                         G
Cigars on the pillow,and a rack of clean shirts,
Chorus
    G                          C
There's the place that's just right,
     C               G
for a tuckered mans head,
 C                    D
With a doubled up mattress,on a four postered bed,
 C              D                         G
Sheets of pure silk,a feathered pillow to match,
     C          A         D        G
Tattered and tired I lay down to rest.
Chorus,then last line,{Slowly}
C                   D                   G
Ride the rails to the city,for my final rest.
