Verse 1
(G major) How are you my lonesome child?
(C major) Haven't seen you for a while
Half (G major) of you have been getting
on these (D major) days (Dsus4)
(G major) Last (C major) I saw you (G major) you were broke
Out on the streets we (C major) barely spoke
It seems you and I were
always parted (D major) ways
Then (C major) you went off the rails
and I went (G major) straight (C major)
I (G major) remember when we met,
it was (C major) way back when in
Lafayette
You (G major) were on a timber cut crew (D major)
And (C major) I was at the (G major) college then,
I didn't dance with (C major) working men, I thought
I'd like to take a stroll with (D major) you.
So we (G major) wandered by the riverside,
we (C major) watched the dogwood blossoms glide down (G major) the river, feeling out of state.
(D major) But it (C major) seems like that was (G major) you and me
Pulled (B minor) along (G major) re (C major) luctantly
Never had much time to
stop and (Dsus4) wait (D major)
Then (C major) you went off the rails
and I went (G major) straight
And I (B minor) won't pretend that I
(C major) loved you all (G major) the while
We were (A minor) kickin' up and down the (G major) line
Yeah, (B minor) now and then when I
(C major) think about your (G major) smile
Lord, (A minor) I wonder could
I've eased your troubled mind (D major)
I (G major) moved down to
Pensacola
You (C major) were playin' rock and roll
Down (G major) in
Tallahassee with the band (D major)
I (C major) waited for you once (G major) backstage
Then (B minor) I had to (C major) turn the page
Hanging around was more
than I could stand (D major)
Ten (G major) years and a thousand miles
I (C major) lived in
Newport
News a while
I'd (G major) work down in
Norfolk hauling (D major) freight
But you (C major) cooked me gum, (G major) let you lie
I (B minor) don't know (G major) why we (C major) said goodbye
It seemed you and I were
always just too (D major) late
Then (C major) you went off the rails
and I went (G major) straight
And I (B minor) won't pretend that
I (C major) love you all (G major) the while
We were (A minor) kicking up and down the (G major) line
Yeah, (B minor) now and then when I
(C major) think about your (G major) smile
Lord, (A minor) I wonder,
could I have eased your troubled mind? (D major)
Now (G major) you're back and look at you,
(C major) once they threw the book at you
Now (G major) you're sitting pretty after all (D major)
I (C major) guess I should have known (G major) you'd slip
(B minor) out of the back (G major) and through (C major) the grip
Find yourself a pleasant
place to (D major) fall (Dsus4)
(D major) Ten (G major) years and a thousand miles,
(C major) it ends up pretty quickly, child
I'm (G major) not much inclined to contem (D major) plate
Yeah, but (C major) all I know is (G major) how I cried
Every time we (C major) said goodbye
It seemed you and I were
always just too (D major) late
Then (C major) you went off the rails
and I went (G major) straight
Then (C major) you went off the rails
and I went (G major) straight
Baby, (C major) you went off the rails
and I went (G major) straight (C major)
you
