Riding on a Railroad
(James Taylor) (c) 1970 Blackwood Music
>From "Mud Slide Slim"
G(no 3rd) /F#
Em7 A7sus4 A7sus2 A7
We are riding on a railroad,
singing someone else's song
/F# Em7 A7sus4 A7 F C G
Forever standing by the cross road. Take a side and step along.
/F# Em7 A7sus4 A7 F C G
We are sailing away on a river to the sea. Maybe you and me can meet
again.
/F# Em7 A7 F C G D/F# Em7
We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song. Sing along.
Time to time I tire of the life that I've been lead-ing
Town to town, day by day
There's a man up here who claims to have his hands upon the reins.
There are chains upon his hands and he's riding upon a train.
