Chords with lyrics

Well the old iron trail is a railroad track it runs all over our land

  C majorC          FF     G7G7       C majorC
And I had traveled every foot of it before I was a man

         FF     C majorC            G7G7
My daddy told me stories he told me some pretty wild tales

  C majorC       FF         C majorC    G7G7      C majorC
Of long ago when he was a beau and traveled the old iron trail


                      FF   C majorC           G7G7
And he said well there ain?t no sofas in a boxcar there ain?t no feather bed

   C majorC        FF       G7G7           C majorC
There ain?t no carpet for your feet no pillows to lay your head

            FF   C majorC            G7G7
There ain?t no milk and honey there ain?t no beer and ale

C majorC        FF       C majorC     G7G7    C majorC
Life is hell the bread is stale out on the old iron trail

           FF       C majorC       G7G7
Well I?m just like my daddy there?s hobo blood in me

  C majorC          FF          G7G7         C majorC
And that old iron trail that he knew so well soon was a-callin? me

             FF    C majorC         G7G7
I traveled all over this country over ever hill and dale

C majorC      FF      C majorC      G7G7    C majorC
Riding on an old boxcar I traveled the old iron trail


                       FF   C majorC           G7G7
I want?cha to know there ain't no sofas in a boxcar there ain?t no feather bed

   C majorC        FF       G7G7           C majorC
There ain?t no carpet for your feet no pillows to lay your head

            FF   C majorC            G7G7
There ain?t no milk and honey there ain?t no beer and ale

C majorC        FF       C majorC     G7G7    C majorC
Life is hell the bread is stale out on the old iron trail

Better listen to me boys it ain?t no life of Riley out there
Stay home never roam I know what I?m talking about
Wished I?d listened to my dad
He?s a lot smarter than I gave him credit for


               FF   C majorC            G7G7
Yeah there ain?t no milk and honey there ain?t no beer and ale

C majorC        FF       C majorC     G7G7    C majorC
Life is hell the bread is stale out on the old iron trail
