[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'd play the Red River [C]Valley
[G]And he'd sit[A] out in
the kitchen [Bm]and cry
And run his [G]fingers through [Em]seventy
[D]years of liv[Bm]in'
And wonder[G], "Lord,
has ever' [Em]well I've drilled [A]run dry?"

[Verse 2]
We were [A]friends, me and this [D]old man
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for [G]a train
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for a train
[G][Em]

[Verse 3]
He's a [D]drifter and a driller
of [Csus2]oil wells[G]
And an [A]old school man of [Bm]the world
He [G]let me drive [Em]his car
When he's too [D]drunk [Bm]to

[Verse 4]
And he'd [G]wink and give me
[Em]money for the [A]girls
And our lives were like some
old western [D]movie
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for [G]a train
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for a train
[G][Em]

[Verse 5]
From the [D]time that I could walk
he'd take me with [Csus2]him
[G]To a bar[A] called the Green Frog Caf[Bm]e
There were [G]old men [Em]with beer
guts and [D]domin[Bm]os
[G]Lying 'bout their [Em]lives while
they'd [A]played

[Verse 6]
And I was [A]just a kid
They all called his [D]"Sidekick"
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for [G]a train
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for a train
[G][Em]

[Verse 7]
One [D]day I looked up and he's
pushin' [C]eighty
[Bm]And there's brow[A]n tobacco
stains all down his [Bm]chin
To [G]me he's one of the
[Em]heroes of this [D]country[Bm]
So [G]why's he all dressed [Em]up
like them [A]old men

[Verse 8]
Drinkin' [A]beer and playin'
Moon and Forty-two
[D]Like Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for [G]a train
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for [G]a train

[Verse 9]
[G]A d[Em]ay be[D]fore he died,
I went to see [Dm]him[C][Baug]
[A]I was grown and he was
[G]al most [Bm]gone
So we just [G]closed our eye[Em]s
and dreamed us up [D]a kitchen[G]
[Bm]And sang[G] another verse[Em] to
[G]that old [A]song
"Come on, Jack,
that son of a guns [D]are comin' "

[Verse 10]
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for [G]a train
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' [G]for a train
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for [G]a train
Like [Bm]desperados waitin' for a train
