Desperados Waiting For A Train Highwaymen
[C]I'd play the Red River V[G]alley,
and he'd[Am] sit out in the kitchen an[Dm]d cry.
And run his f[D]ingers through seventy year[F]s of livin'[Fm]
And w[C]onder Lord, has every [G]well I drilled run [Am]dry.
We were friends [Dm]me and this old man.
CHORUS
Like des[F]peradoes waiting for a t[G]rain,
Like des[F]peradoes waiting for a t[G]rain,
Like des[F]peradoes waiting for a t[G]rain,
Like des[F]peradoes[Fm] waiting for a t[C]rain.
VERSE 2
[C]He's a drifter and a driller [G]of oil wells,
and an old [Am]school man of the[Dm] world,
He'd let me drive his ca[D]r when he's [F]too d[Fm]runk to,
And he'd [C]wink and give me [G]money for the [Am]girls,
And our lives was like s[Dm]ome old western movie.
VERSE 3
[C]From the time that I could walk he'd take [G]me with him,
to a b[Am]ar called the Green Frog Cafe, [Dm]
And there [D]was old men with [F]beer guts and[Fm] dominoes,
[C] [G] [Am]
Lyin' 'bout their lives while they'd play,
And I was just a kid they called [Dm]his sidekick
VERSE 4
[C]One day I looked up and he's pus[G]hin' eighty,
And ther[Am]e's brown tobacco stains all dow[Dm]n his chin,
To me he[D]'s one of the[F] heroes of thi[Fm]s country,
So why's[C] he all [G]dressed up like th[Am]em old men,
Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon a[Dm]nd Forty Two
VERSE 5
[C]The day before he died I went to s[G]ee him
I was gr[Am]own and he was almost g[Dm]one
So we just c[D]losed our eyes and d[F]reamed us up [Fm]a kitchen
And sang[C] another[G] verse to that o[Am]ld song
Come on Jack, that son of a bitch[Dm] is a-coming.
Thanks alot for bothering with this, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
