[Intro 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Behind a fellow on the
way to Pocatello
On a westbound passenger train
[G]Buyin' my time drinkin' red wine
Wait[D]in' for the signal to change
And there's [A]gold and hooch
hidden [G]in the caboose
And when [A]the damn thing
stops I'm ready to shoot
Oh [G]Lord

[Verse 2]
I ain't the innocent one
[D]Know me by the way I run
Well [A]I'm stabbed in the back and
I'm [G]gunnin' for that stack
Oh Mary [A]could you stitch me
[D]up

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
[D]Mary made a living just fencing
what was given
When the tramps rolled in on the train
[G]Sold her booze and offered a room
[Dm]and [D]a lady without a name
She [A]could sew your wounds
or [G]sell you a tomb
But nev[A]er could you tell her
you had something to lose
Oh [G]Lord

[Verse 4]
I ain't the innocent one
[D]Know me by the way I run
Well [A]I'm stabbed in the back and
I'm [G]gunnin' for that stack
Oh [A]Mary could you [D]stitch [A]me
[D]up[Dm][G]

[Verse 5]
So I [D]rode in hot just lookin' for a
cot to lay my burdens down
[Dm]In M[G]ary's place I recognized a face
on a [D]man from another town
He [A]shot his lead at [G]the side of my head
It [A]was 27 stitches from
the queen of the yeggs

[Verse 6]
Oh [G]Lord I ain't the innocent one
Know me [D]by the way I run
Well [A]I'm stabbed in the back and
I'm [G]gunnin' for that stack
Oh [A]Mary could you stitch me
