desperados waiting for the train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I'd [G]sing the Red River [C]Valley
And [D]he'd sit in the kitchen and [Em]cry
Run his [C]fingers through [Am]sev
[Dsus4]enty year[G]s of livi[Em]n'
Wonder, [C]"Lord,
has every [Am]well I've drilled [D]gone dry?"
We was friends, me and this [G]old man

[Verse 2]
Like [Em]desperados waiting
for [C]the train
[Em]Desperados waiting for the train
[C]

[Verse 3]
[Am][Dsus4]
[D]He's a dri[G]fter and a driller
of oil [F]wells[C]
[D]An old school man of the [Em]world
Taught me [C]how to drive his [Am]car
when he's too [G]drunk [Em]to
Then he'd [C]wink and give some
[Am]money for the [Dsus4]girls[D]
Our lives was like some old western [G]movie
Like [Em]desperados waiting for [C]a train
[Em]Desperados waiting [D]for [C]a train
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Dsus4]
[D]From the tim[G]e that I could walk,
he'd take me with [F]him
[C]To a bar[D] called the Green Frog Caf[Em]e
There was [C]old men with [Am]beer
[Dsus4]guts and domi[G]noes[Em]
[C]Lying 'bout their [Am]lives while
[Dsus4]they play[D]ed
I was just a kid,
they all called [G]me "sidekick"
Like [Em]desperados waiting
[D]for [C]the train
[Em]Desperados waiting [D]for the train
[C]

[Verse 5]
[Am][Dsus4]
[D]One day[G] I looked up,
he's pushin' [F]eighty[C]
Has [D]brown tobacco stains all down his [Em]chin
To [C]me, he's one of the [Am]heroes
[Dsus4]of this countr[G]y[Em]
So [C]why's he all [Am]dressed up like
them old [Dsus4]men[D]
Drinkin' beer,
playin' Moon and Forty- [G]two
Like a [Em]desperado waiting
[D]for the [C]train
[Em]Desperado waiting [D]for

[Interlude 1]
the train
[C][Am][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Just before he died I went to see [F]him[C]
[D]I was grown and he was a[Em]lmost gone
So [D]we just [C]closed our eyes and [Am]dreamed
us [Dsus4]up a kitche[G]n[Em]
[C]And sang another [Am]verse to
that [C]old [Dsus4]song[D]
Come on, Jack,
I swear that charm is [G]comin'
We're [Em]desperados waiting for [D]the [C]train
[D]Like [Em]desperados waiting [D]for
[Em]the [C]train[D]
[Em]Desperados waiting [D]for [Em]the t[C]rain
[Em]Desperados waiting [D]for [Em]a train
