Grateful Dead – Big Railroad Blues (Guitar)

  A
Well my mama told me, my papa told me too,

       D                          A
Now my mama told me, papa told me too,

       E
Well I shouldn't be here

          D                   A
Tryin' to sing these railroad blues.

A
Wish I had a'listened, oh-oh to what mama said,

D                               A
Wish I had a'listened, oh-oh to what mama said,

     E
Well I wouldn't be here

         D                     A
Tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed.

A                 
Well I went to the depot, I never got there on time,

           D                     A
Went down to the depot, never got there on time.

      E
Well my train done left,

       D                  A
She's a rollin' down the line.

A
Mister jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies,

      D                                 A
Mister jailer go away, don't tell me no lies,

     E
When the train's going down,

      D               A
She's rollin' down the line.

  A
Well my mama told me, my papa told me too,

       D                     A
Now my mama told me, papa told me too,

     E
Well I shouldn't be here

        D                  A
Tryin' to sing these railroad blues
