Artist: Willie Nelson
Song: Railroad Lady
 
[Intro]
 C G C
 
[Chorus 1]
C        F                    C
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
G                         C
spendin' her days on the train
          F                      C
She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her
          G                 G7       C
now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again
 
[Verse 1]
C                                F             C
South station in Boston, to the stock yards of Austin
                                               G
from the Florida sunshine, to the New Orlean's rain
C                             F              C
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks 
       G                G7        C
She's tryin', tryin' to get home again
 
[Chorus 2]
        F                      C
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
 G                        C
spendin' her days on the train
       F                            C
Once a Pullman car traveller, the switchmen won't have her
       G                    G7        C
She's tryin, just tryin' to get home again
 
[Verse 2]
   C                       F              C
Once a high ballin loner, thought he could own her
  C                                       G
he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring
        C                               F           C
but she hocked them for cold cash  in a town on the Wabash
 C                                G             C
Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then
 
[Verse 3]
 D                                    G           D
But the rails are now rusty, and the dining cars dusty
 D                                           A
and the gold plated watches have taken their toll
   D                                  G       D
And the railroads are dyin', and the lady is cryin'
    D                   A               D
on a bus to Kentucky at home that's her goal
 
[Chorus 3]
        G                     D
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
A                         D
spendin' her days on the train
        G                        D
She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her
          A                 A7        D
now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again
     A                  G    A    D     A D
On a bus to Kentucky at home once again
