🎸 Verse 1:
        C7
All around the water tanks
F       C
Waiting for a train
 F        C
A thousand miles away from home
D7       G
Sleepin' in the rain

🎸 Verse 2:
 C           C7
I walked up to a brakeman
  F         C
To give him a line of talk
  F         C
He said if you've got money
   D7    D     G
I'll see that you don't walk

🎸 Verse 3:
 C          C7
I haven't got a nickel
   F      E  E7
Not a penny can I show
  F         C    Am
Get off, get off, you railroad bum
    D7      G   C
And he slammed that boxcar door

🎸 Verse 4:
         C7
He put me off in Texas
 F       C
A state I dearly love
  F           C
The wide open spaces all around me
    D7         G7
And the moon and the stars above

🎸 Verse 5:
C           C7
Nobody seems to want me
  F         C
Or lend me a helpin' hand
  F       C
I'm on my way from Frisco Bay
    Dm      G7
Headin' back to Dixieland

🎸 Verse 6:
  C         C7
My pocketbook is empty
    F          E  E7
And my heart is filled with pain
   F        C    Am
I'm a thousand miles away from home
D7   G   C
Waiting for a train
