Verse 1:
G                         D
Ya the wind it swept in through the trees like a train through this old town
       Am          C         G
Now that everybodies gone that heartaches come a around.
                       D
Ya tonight the moon just will not shine.and I can't see the stars.
  Am              C           G
I got nothing to think about except this broken heart.

Verse 2:
G                    D             Am
Well the one I love has gone away cause she could not be true. So I packed some things took off that ring,
    C          G                        D
and put on them walking shoes. I headed out the door like I done before but this time with a plan.
      Am                       C           G
I'm gonna pick some tunes by the light of the moon just a roaming round this land.

Chorus:
G                     D                Am
And I'll be that wayward drifter walking down the railroad tracks. Lord if I get gone I'm a ramblin' on
   C       G                           D
and I aint looking back. From the switch yard with this old guitar I'm a heading to your town.
     Am                   C          G
And I'll sing you a song play all night long but I can't stick around.

Verse 3:
G                    D                Am
Another town gone, another lonely song, another endless mile. Now I can always stay and change my ways but
C           G                      D                 Am
that just aint my style. And you can tempt me with an eternity of love and gold sunshine. But In the end
               C          G
I'm my only friend and I'll tell you one more time.

Chorus:
G                     D                Am
That I'll be that wayward drifter walking down the railroad tracks. Lord if I get gone I'm a ramblin' on
   C       G                           D
and I aint looking back. From the switch yard with this old guitar I'm a heading to your town.
     Am                   C          G
And I'll sing you a song play all night long but I can't stick around.

Verse 4:
G                 D                     Am
I guess I'll keep on walking and hoping on these old trains. Cause with my six string and without that ring
  C         G                       D           Am
I aint got no complaints. And I'd love to spend another night with everyone of you. But I love the feel
             C          G
of a rumblin steel and I gotta push on through.

Chorus:
G                     D                Am
And I'll be that wayward drifter walking down the railroad tracks. Lord if I get gone I'm a ramblin' on
   C       G                           D
and I aint looking back. From the switch yard with this old guitar I'm a heading to your town.
     Am                   C          G
And I'll sing you a song play all night long but I can't stick around.
