GOOD OLD AMERICAN GUEST
Merle Haggard-  Big City album
?1981 Sony/ATV Songs

C majorC                    C7C7
Well I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
    FF                C majorC
pull a slouch hat down low on my ears
                      C7C7
I'm yearnin' to leave this old town on the flight
     D7D7           G7G7
and lose all my trouble and cares
   C majorC             C7C7
In this day of airplanes and highways
   FF               C majorC
Hey the slow way is sometimes the best
    FF          C majorC  A7A7
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
    D7D7     G7G7   C majorC
and be a good old American guest
 C majorC                         C7C7
I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for
 FF             C majorC
and spend a few days headed west
  FF            C majorC  A7A7
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
    D7D7     G7G7     C majorC
and be a good old American guest

(solos follow verse changes)

C majorC              C7C7
Well the pressures of life they got to me
   FF             C majorC
and they got down deep inside my soul
                      C7C7
I'm tired of the rat race wanna go back to the slow pace
     D7D7                G7G7
and hear a fast freight train rattle and roll
   C majorC           C7C7
I wanna live out my days like a hobo
  FF               C majorC
and take myself that long needed rest
   FF            C majorC  A7A7
Hey I'm lookin' to ride on a freight train
    D7D7        G7G7   C majorC
and be a good old American guest

C majorC                       C7C7
I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for
   FF             C majorC
and spend a few days headed west
  FF           C majorC  A7A7
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
   D7D7      G7G7     C majorC
and be a good old American guest
   FF          C majorC  A7A7
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
     D7D7    G7G7    C majorC
and be a good old American guest
