_ _ And I'd sing the Red River Valley And [E] he'd sit in the [D] kitchen and cry
_ [G] Run his finger [Em] through seventy [D] years of [Bm] living
[F#m] Wondering, Lord, is [Em] everyone but [A] children dry
We were friends, me and [D] that old man
[Bm] Like desperadoes waiting [G] for a train
_ [Bm] Like desperadoes waiting [G] for a train
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] He's a drifter [A] and a driller [D] of oil wells
_ [Em] And an old school [A] man [D] of the world
_ _ Taught me [F#m] how to [Em] drive his car when he's too drunk [D] to
_ [Bm] And he'd [F#m] wink and give me [Em] money for the [A] girls
And our lives was like some old western [D] movie

_ _ [Bm] Like desperadoes waiting [G] for a train
_ [D] From the time that [A] I could walk, [D] he'd take me with him
To [Em] a place [A] called the Green [D] Frog Cafe

_ [D] And I looked [A] up and he [D] was pushing eighty _
[Em] And there was brown [A] tobacco stains [D] all down his chin
To me he's [Em] one of the heroes [D] of this country
[Bm]
So [G] why is he [Em] all dressed up like [A] some old man _
Drinking beer and playing moon and [D] forty-two
[Bm] Like desperadoes waiting [G] for a train

Like desperadoes waiting [G] for a train
[D] The _ _ _ _ [B] day before he died [D] I went to see him
_ _ [Em] I was [A] grown and he was [D] almost gone
We [G] just closed our [Em] eyes and dreamt [D] us up a kitchen
[Bm] And _ [G] sang [Em] another verse to that [A] old song
Don't _ try Jack, it's only [D] Jesus coming
[Bm] Like desperadoes waiting for [G] the train _
