Railroad Earth

Lyrics:

• Capo 5th fret, Intro: C G Am F C G


• C Am F C G
• through this railroad earth, for whatever it's worth, singin' songs & stayin' high
• C Am F C G
• & you know i'll be, where my heart feels free, & my thoughts are free to fly


• F Am G
• oh mama, please don't make me lie
• F Am G
• i need my freedom, need my open sky


• Repeat intro


• C Am F C G
• in yer socks & shirt & yer bed of dirt, with the midnight moon on high
• C Am F C G
• & you know i've been where the midnight wind makes your soul & spirit cry


• F Am G
• oh mama, please don't ask me why
• F Am G
• i need my freedom, need my open sky


• Repeat main chord progression twice for solos then intro


• C Am F C G
• through this railroad earth, for whatever it's worth, gettin' along & gettin' by
• C Am F C G
• & you know i'll miss every single kiss as the years go rollin' by


• F Am G
• oh mama, ain't it good to be alive
• F Am G
• when you're mountain-top & feelin' high


• REPEAT F, Am, G oh mama, aint it good to be alive
• when you're down & rollin', free to ride


• REPEAT INTRO then A-cappella:
• oh mama, please don't make me lie
