C G C F C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Laying around this little town smoking those nice cigars
D G
waiting for a handout just to catch an empty car
C F
but just as a freight train came rolling by, my wait was all in vain
C Am G D G C
back off, back off, you dirty bum and get yourself the next freight train
[Chorus]
C F C
so you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
D G
laying around this little town, with a head chuck full of rum
C Bb
I came downtown, for to get a little sap
Am Ab
boy, whatchya aint sitting on another man’s lap
C Am G D G C
If you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
[Willie picks the verse chords here, If I figure it out I'll try and tab it]
[Verse 2]
C F C
well they put me off in Texas, a place i do love
D G
wide open spaces around me, the moon and stars above
C F
but nobody seems to want me now, or lend me no helping hand
C Am G D G C
im on my way, Im leaving today, I’m headed for the promised land
