[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I used [C]to work
for [G]the New Jersey Rail[D]road
I got laid [C]off [G]'cause
the times weren't [D]good[G]
My unem[D]ployment [Bm]sixty-five dollars
[G]dollars
Six[C]ty-five dollars [G]dollars don't [C]buy
[G]what it should

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 2]
I've got [C]a weakness f[G]or
80-proof whis[D]key
Lately, [C]I'm drinking a
[G]bottle every [D]day[G]
Messing my [D]mind up
[A]Lord, [D]it's [Bm]wrecking my b[A]ody[G]
But it [C]helps make those [G]long,
lonely [C]hours [G]slip [D]away

[Verse 3]
I [G]used to be a rail[D]road man
And I'm [C]damn proud [G]of it, [D]too
I [G]did more work in [D]a working day
Than [C]any [G]two men could [D]do

[Verse 4]
[G]Foreman said I drank [D]too much
[A]I said tha[Bm]t's just s hal[A]f-way true
[G]true
I drink [C]half as much as my [G]daddy did
And [C]twice [G]as much as you

[Interlude 2]
[D][C]

[C][G][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
I used [C]to have me [G]a
good looking wo[D]man
Loved her and kep[C]t her
And [G]called her my [D]own

[Verse 6]
[G]She started pac[D]king whe[Bm]n
I star[A]ted [G]drinking
Now [C]I'm drunk [G]and I'm busty
And I'm [C]here [G]all [D]alone

[Verse 7]
I [G]used to be a rail[D]road man
And I'm dam[C]n proud o[G]f i[D]t, too
I [G]did more work in a [D]working day
[C]Than any two [G]men [D]could do

[Verse 8]
[G]Foreman said I drank [D]too much
[A]And[Bm] at last I know it's tru[G]e
But I'm [C]too far gone [G]to change now
Ain't [C]nothing [G]I can d[D]o
