[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][Gsus4][F][C]

[Verse 1]
I jumped the [C]first train I saw,
it'll surely take [F]me [C]home
If I had a mama,
[F]at [G]least I'd [F]have a [C]place to go
But I'm just a guttersnipe,
I got no place to wipe my [F]nose[C]
I jumped the first train I saw,
it'll [F]surely [C]take me home

[Verse 2]
[F]
A buzzard riding the [C]rails[F]
I steal my meals when [C]all else [F]fails
I'm right at home [C]on the line
[G]I'm well on my way to [F]feel
[G]ing [C]fine

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][Gsus4][C]

[Verse 3]
I've been to [C]Juarez,
I been to Houston, Bat[F]on [C]Rouge
I got some good friends,
some folks to really help me through
I've been all over,
I spend my time just like [F]I do
[C]I stay out of trouble,
but its [G]got a way [C]of finding you

[Verse 4]
[F]
A buzzard riding the [C]rails[F]
I steal my meals [C]when all else [F]fails
I'm right at home on [C]the line
But [G]I'm well [Gsus4]on my way to[G] feel
[Gsus4]ing fine[G][C]

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][C][G][C][Fm]

[Verse 5]
I'm a [Fm]railroad [C]urchin
[Fm]Searching for peace of m[C]ind[Fm]
And I'm in need of [C]some churchin'
And out [G]here [Gsus4]all I hav[G]e
[C]is time

[Interlude 3]
[C][F][C][Gsus4][F][C]

[Verse 6]
I can't get my [C]money right,
I can't even put my two [F]cents [C]in
I pray [G]the lawmen, I hope they
[Gsus4]wont catc[G]h me a[C]gain
And I'm just a vagabond,
I live to see the light of [F]dawn[C]
The train beats a rhythm,

[Interlude 4]
and I love I love to sing along
[C][F]

[Verse 7]
A buzzard [F]riding the [C]rails[F]
I steal my meals when [C]all else [F]fails
I never heeded [C]the signs
But I'm [G]well on [C]my way to [G]feel
[C]ing fine
