Capo 3 


verse 1 
          E 
Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me 
                         B7              E 
Like all along I've been learning how to live 
         E 
Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea 
                                       B7          E 
I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin 

         E 
Well now looking back on my life now at some of the things I done 
               B7              E 
Makes me wanna hang my head in shame 
        E 
I was a no good, no account, low down heartbreaker 
                                B7          E    E/F# E/G E/G# 
On that railroad of sin I was a highballing train

           A                             E 
I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow 
                    B7              E 
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind 
                                  A 
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow 
       E                         B7          E 
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin

verse 3 
               E 
Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming 
                         B7                   E 
Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound 
                                      B7 
But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin 
           E                      B7            E 
I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down

                                  A 
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow 
       E                         B7          E 
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin
