Riding on a railroad
G Em A - F C G
1. We are riding on a railroad,
singing some else's song,
Em
A - F C
G
forever standing by that cross
road, take a side and step along.
Em
A
We are sailing away on a river
to the sea,
F C
G
and maybe you and me
can meet again,
Em
A - F C G
we are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song,
Em - D
sing along.
C G Em
Time to time I tire of the life that I've been leading,
D
- C G
town to town, day by day.
Em Bm
There's a man up here who claims to have his hands upon the reins,
C G Em D - D7
there are chains upon his hands and he's riding upon a train.
G Em A - F C G
2. Oh Lord, we’ve been riding on a railroad, singing some else's song,
Em
A - F C G
forever standing by that cross
road, take your side and step along.
Em A
We are sailing away on a river
to the sea,
F C G
maybe you and me can meet again now.
Em A
We’ve been riding,
we’ve been riding on a railroad,
F C G
singing
someone else's song.
