Train To Birmingham

G  D  Am C G D C

[Verse 1]
G                        D
I've been riding on this train
         Am             C
Drinking whiskey for the pain just
G                D           C
Another good ol' boy going home
G                D
And every town I see
         Am            C
Seems to take a part of me
G                         D            C
That's the price that you pay when you roam

[Chorus]

       Am        Em
And I lie when I have to
      F   C      D
And I cry when I can
       G  B7      Em  C
But  I die a little slower
       G     D         G
On the train to Birmingham

[Verse 2]

G                       D
I got holes in both my shoes
      Am                 C
Got  a guitar full of blues
G                    D       C
And a one way ticket for my remedy
G                          D
It's the same ol' lonesome song
          Am                C
I've been singing all night long
G                   D          C
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee

[Chorus]

       Am        Em
And I cry when I have to
      F   C      D
And I lie when I can
       G  B7       Em  C
But  I die a little slower
       G     D         G
On the train to Birmingham

[Verse 3]

G                           D
Well every year I ride this train
   Am            C
To Alabama in the rain
G                        D             C
When I get that lonesome feelin' in my bones
G                     D
I never get to B7irmingham
            Am              C
But  gettin' there ain't the plan
       G             D        C
I just like the feel of going home

[Chorus]

       Am        Em
And I lie when I have to
      F   C      D
And I cry when I can
       G  B7        C
But  I die a little slower
       G     D         G
On the train to Birmingham
       G  B7        C
B7ut I die a little slower
       G     D      C
On the train to Birmingham
