Johnny Cash - Ridin' The Rails chords
Start Jamming...
So, come along [D] and ride this train.
[C]
Humming
[F]
[C]
[G]
Riding the rail, riding the rail
[F] Wheels of steel again rolling [C] through
[G] Pulling cars for passengers [C] like you
[F]
Everybody [G] ought to ride a train
[F] Get on board [G] their outward bound [C]
again
Riding [Am] the rail, [Dm] humming
[G] Riding [C] the rail, riding the rail
Riding the rail
Hey, [F] watch them proudly roll on your [C] late track
[G] It's the better way to get you there [C] and back
[F] And like a brand [G] new day she's up [C] to date
[F] For bringing in [G] your lover, [C] are you afraid?
Riding [A] the rail,
[Dm] humming
[G] Riding [C] the rail, riding the rail
Riding the rail
[F] Long and sleek and made for [C] moving on
[G] Shout, here she comes, [G] she's [C] already gone
[F] Tip your hat [G] to them when they [C] go by
[F] They're a way of life [G] that will never, never [C] die
Riding [Am] the rail, [Dm] humming
[G] Riding [C] the rail, humming
The old high [F] rolling days of steam have faded
And [G] a little of the old rich glamour is worn off now
But some of us still wake up and find [C] ourselves listening
For that long, lonesome whistling [F] night
That's the sound [G] America's dreams [C] are made of
Close your eyes [Fm] and make believe just a [G] little bit
And I bet you can hear that
