Artist: Willie Nelson Song: Railroad Lady [Intro] C G C [Chorus 1]
C        F                    C
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady

G                         C
spendin' her days on the train

          F                      C
She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her

          G                 G7       C
now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again
[Verse 1]
C                                F             C
South station in Boston, to the stock yards of Austin

                                               G
from the Florida sunshine, to the New Orlean's rain

C                             F              C
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks 

       G                G7        C
She's tryin', tryin' to get home again
[Chorus 2]
        F                      C
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady

 G                        C
spendin' her days on the train

       F                            C
Once a Pullman car traveller, the switchmen won't have her

       G                    G7        C
She's tryin, just tryin' to get home again
[Verse 2]
   C                       F              C
Once a high ballin loner, thought he could own her

  C                                       G
he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring

        C                               F           C                 
but she hocked them for cold cash  in a town on the Wabash

 C                                G             C                               
Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then
[Verse 3]
 D                                    G           D
But the rails are now rusty, and the dining cars dusty

 D                                           A
and the gold plated watches have taken their toll

   D                                  G       D
And the railroads are dyin', and the lady is cryin'

    D                   A               D
on a bus to Kentucky at home that's her goal
[Chorus 3]
        G                     D         
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady

A                         D
spendin' her days on the train

        G                        D                                             
She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her

          A                 A7        D
now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again

     A                  G    A    D     A D
On a bus to Kentucky at home once again
