Capo 3
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well they [E]say you live & learn but it really seems more to me
Like all along I've been [B7]learning how to [E]live
Well for [E]years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea
I've been out walking them ties on the [B7]railroad of [E]sin
Well now [E]looking back on my life now at some of the things I done
Makes me wanna [B7]hang my head in [E]shame
I was a [E]no good, no account, low down heartbreaker
On that railroad of sin I was a [B7]highballing [E]train[E/F#][E/G][E/G#]
[Chorus]
I'm just a [A]poor boy had to beg, steal, &a[E]mp; borrow
Just a leaf blowing [B7]lonesome in the [E]wind
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old [A]highway of sorrow
Just a [E]highballing train on that [B7]railroad of [E]sin
[Solo]
|A |E |E |B7 E |E |
[Verse 3]
Well you won't [E]feel it and you won't hear it coming
Cause when she's rolling [B7]slow it don't make a [E]sound
But I got that throttle to ten on the [B7]railroad of sin
I'm coming [E]off of the rails and I [B7]can't slow it [E]down
[Chorus]
I'm just a [A]poor boy had to beg, steal, &a[E]mp; borrow
Just a leaf blowing [B7]lonesome in the [E]wind
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old [A]highway of sorrow
Just a [E]highballing train on that [B7]railroad of [E]sin
[Solo]
|A |E |E |B7 E |
[Chorus]
Well I'm a [A]poor boy had to beg, steal, &a[E]mp; borrow
Just a leaf blowing [B7]lonesome in the [E]wind
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old [A]highway of sorrow
Just a [E]highballing train on that [B7]railroad of [E]sin
