Transcendental Ramblin Railroad Blues chords by Colter Wall

Intro:

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


Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

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


Instrumental:

 C - F - G - C

Verse 2:

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


Chorus:

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


Instrumental:

 C - F - G - C

Verse 3:

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


Chorus:

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