Transcendental Ramblin Railroad Blues chords by Colter Wall

Chords with lyrics

Intro:

C majorC      FF
 Lay me down easy
G+G      C majorC
 Lay me down hard
            FF
 Light my cigarette and make my bed
G+G           C majorC
 Somewhere beneath the stars


Verse 1:

C majorC          FF
 I was born a blue child
G+G          C majorC
 Of the wild western sky
            FF
 But I left my prairie home
G+G           C majorC
 Found a boxcar for to ride
           FF
 Now I'm way down in Okema
G+G            C majorC
 Earning blisters on my feet
            FF
 With my guitar and my buck knife
G+G               C majorC
 Thumbing down Woody Guthrie Street

Chorus:

C majorC      FF
 Lay me down easy
G+G      C majorC
 Lay me down hard
            FF
 Light my cigarette and make my bed
G+G           C majorC
 Somewhere beneath the stars
           FF
 Don't look for me in glory
G+G          C majorC
 Don't look for me below
                FF
 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight
G+G              C majorC
 Where the souls of ramblers go

Instrumental:

 C majorC - FF - G+G - C majorC

Verse 2:

C majorC              FF
 And there's a sadness that follows
G+G         C majorC
 Most everywhere I roam
           FF
 You can see it on my smile
G+G            C majorC
 You can smell it on my clothes
          FF
 Sometimes all that running
G+G          C majorC
 It never lasts too long
           FF
 So keep me good and loaded
G+G           C majorC
 And I'll keep singing songs


Chorus:

C majorC      FF
 Lay me down easy
G+G      C majorC
 Lay me down hard
            FF
 Light my cigarette and make my bed
G+G           C majorC
 Somewhere beneath the stars
           FF
 Don't look for me in glory
G+G          C majorC
 Don't look for me below
                FF
 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight
G+G              C majorC
 Where the souls of ramblers go


Instrumental:

 C majorC - FF - G+G - C majorC

Verse 3:

C majorC           FF
 If I don't leave here tomorrow
G+G              C majorC
 I believe I'll blow out my brains
              FF
 But either way there'll be sorrow
G+G              C majorC
 And you won't be seeing me again


Chorus:

C majorC      FF
 Lay me down easy
G+G      C majorC
 Lay me down hard
            FF
 Light my cigarette and make my bed
G+G           C majorC
 Somewhere beneath the stars
           FF
 Don't look for me in glory
G+G          C majorC
 Don't look for me below
                FF
 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight
G+G              C majorC
