verse 1
D A D
I'd play the red river valley
A D
and he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry
G D
and run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
G A
and wonder lord, has ever will our drill run dry
A7 D
we were friends me and this old man.
chorus:
Bm G
Like desperados waiting for a train,
Bm G Em A7
Like desperados waiting for a train
verse 2
D A D
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
A D
and an old school man of the world
G D
He'd let me drive his car when he's too drunk to
G A
and he'd wink and give me money for the girls
A7 D
and our lives were like some old western movie.(chorus)
verse 3
D A D
From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him
A D
to a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
G D
and there were old men with beer guts and dominoes
G A
lyin' 'bout their lives while they'd play
A7 D
and I was a kid they called his side kick.(chorus)
verse 4
D A D
One day I looked up and he's pushin eighty
A D
and there's brown tobacco stains all down his chin
G D
to me he's one of the heroes of this country
G A
so why's he all dressed up like them old men
A7 D
drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty Two.(chorus)
verse 5
D A D
The day before he died I went to see him
A D
I was grown and he was almost gone
G D
so we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
G A
and sang another verse to that old song
A D
come on Jack, that son of a guns a-comin' (chorus 4x)
fade out on G at the end.
Hope you like it I played it by ear and got this. I think its the closest to the actual song.
