Great interpretation of the classic Ramblin Jack Elliot. Billy Bragg dropped his tuning one full step and plays in G (see brackets). [Chorus]
 D (G)          F#7  (B7)
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill

G  (C)                  E  (A7)
He never worked, and he never will,

          A  (D)        D (G)
I'm gonna ride Railroad Bill.

        A  (D)            D  (G)
I wanna ride ol' Railroad Bill.
[Verse]
 D   (G)
Railroad Bill's a mighty mean man

                          G  (C)
Shot the light out of the brakeman's hand.

          A  (D)        D (G)
I'm gonna ride Railroad Bill.

        A  (D)            D  (G)
I wanna ride ol' Railroad Bill.
It goes on like this. Have fun with it.
