[Verse 1]
[Am]Do you to tell a story about it?
Yeah, well, okay, so one time,
a few years back, me and
Andrew
Jacob were hanging out here in
Rockford at the
Carlisle,
and
William, real deal
Safford, had just hitchhiked into town or something,
and he was all wound up and stuff,
and we were having fun, and decided we were going go walk on the tracks,
and, you know,
Andy said,
oh, let's just do it, let's take a walk, you know, the sun's going down,
it'll be a nice walk on the tracks.
And then, at a certain point,
the train whistle blew and the train came coming and I'd never
seen him run so fast in all my life.
And he put his head up, come on
Marco, we gotta go!
So, suddenly we just decided to hop the rails [Bb]an d[F] so
this is a song about that [Am]trip.[F][Am][C][Am]
Well, I've come to tell the tale
Of the [C]time I rode the [Am]rail
[G]With
Andrew
J.
[Am]Duvall
From
[G]Rutherford to
[Am]Rochelle
Well, it was in the summer of [C]2009, [Am]we was high on felds[G]hervin wine,
[Am]we was high [G]on felds[Am]hervin
So we went down to the tracks
And we [C]seen them hobo [Am]shacks
And we cursed them with
[G]no trespassing [Am]signs
And we [G]cursed them with
no trespassing [Am]signs
And when the big train whistle blew,
Andrew [C]spit out his gullet [Am]too,
and he said,
Mar[C]co, [G]we [Am]got to go,
we got [C]to get [G]up on that train while it's drivin' [Am]slow.
So we hopped on a big rain car,
Andrew [C]climbed up to see [Am]the stars,
Yeah, and
I, I was [G]low in the cubby[Am]hole
I was [G]scared in my [Am]soul
Play it now, [C]buddy
[Am]Yeah[G][Am][G]
[Am]
And when the train came to a stop I started
[C]climbin' towards the [Am]top of the
platz
When the [G]brakeman came [Am]around
[F]I w[Am]as sure I[G] had been [Am]found
So I froze the air in my lungs
And stood [C]still on the upper [Am]rungs
Yeah, the brakeman did [G]his job
And jumped on my [Am]ladder
Yeah, the [G]brakeman did his job
And jumped on my [Am]ladder
[C]Ž[Am]
[G]Ž[Am][C][G][C][Am]
ŽWell when the train stopped the next time
Ž
ŽHe started [C]movin' down the line
[Am]Ž
Oh, and I knew the grace of
Him [G]watching over [Am]me
As I [G]jumped up on that train to vic[Am]tory
Yeah, and then we held on tight
To that rat[C]tling steel in the summer night
An[Am]d I never felt mor[G]e free in all my lif[Am]e
Oh, [C]I n[G]ever felt more free in all m[C]y l[Am]ife
Yeah, and this is the tale
Of a [C]time I rode the [Am]rails
And hanged through [G]jingle [Am]halls
From
[G]Rockford to
[Am]Rochelle
From
[G]Rockford to
[Am]Rochelle
Yeah, from
[G]Rockford to
[Am]Rochelle
Applause
Thank you
[G]Applause
That was fun
Good job, folks.
