Chords for Sam Roberts - Live Video ( Gordon Lightfoot cover )

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] Now on that note I'm gonna sing a song by Gordon Lightfoot.
I don't really know why but just _ _ feel yeah, thank you
when in doubt
Look to the gourd
[C] _ This one's called steel rail blues _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, I got my mail late last night a letter from a girl who found the time to [F] ride
to a lonesome boy
[C] somewheres in the night
She [F] sent me a railroad ticket to to take me to a loving arms and [Am] the big steel rail gonna [G] carry me home
to the one I love
_ _ [C] _ _ _
Well, I've been out here many long days haven't found a place that I could call my own
Not a too big [F] bed to lay my [C] body on
I've been [F] stood up a bitch who's down.
I've been dragged into [C] the sand now the big [A] steel rail gonna carry [G] me home
to the one I love
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
Oh
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I've been uptight most every night walking along the streets of this [F] old town
Not a friend around to tell my [C] troubles to
[F] My good old car she done brought down cuz I drove into the ground now the big [Am] steel rail gonna carry [G] me home
And _ I [C] _ _ _
looked over yonder across the plain the big drive wheels are pounding along the [F] ground
Gonna get on board and I'll be [C] homeward bound
[F] I ain't had a home-cooked meal
But Lord, I need [C] one now and a big [Am] steel rail gonna carry me [G] home to the one I love
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Here I stand with my head in my hand standing on a broad highway
Will you [F] give it right to a lonesome boy who missed [C] the train last night?
[F] Went in town for one last round and my gamble my ticket away and a [Am] big steel rail gonna [G] carry me home
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Oh
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ Thank _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you, _ [B] _ _ [G] _ thank you _
