Waylon Jennings – Frisco Depot (Guitar)

E
Frisco's a mighty long way

          F#7
You can afford to fly

       B7
But it might as well be the moon,

                     E
Lord, when you're as broke as I.

       E
Here I sit with my head in my hands

             F#7
Watching the trains roll by

          B7
Lord, the Helping Hand Mission man warned me

                         E
That the nights here got cold.

A                                              E          B7
When you're cold there's nothing as welcome as sunshine

                                              E       A
When you're dry there's nothing as welcome as rain

                                             E            B7
When you're alone there's nothing as slow as passin' time

                                                    E
When you're afoot Lord there's nothing as fast as a train.

    E
Old Frisco's a mighty rich city

         F#7
Now that ain't no lie

B7
they have some buildings

                    E
That reach nearly a mile in the sky.

E                                         F#7
Everyone's so busy they can't tell me the reason why

         B7                                       E       A
Here's a world full of people so damn many people alone

                                             E        B7
When you're alone life just don't seem worth living

                                                E      E7
While you're alive gotta learn to live with the pain.

A
You've been grown for so long

                              E
There's no one left who'll forgive

    B7
You find yourself searching your mind

                     E
For the links to the chain.

A                                              E          B7
When you're cold there's nothing as welcome as sunshine

                                              E       A
When you're dry there's nothing as welcome as rain

                                             E            B7
When you're alone there's nothing as slow as passin' time

                                                    A    E
When you're afoot Lord there's nothing as fast as a train.
