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.

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.
