Verse 1
A 
D 
Well, a punch o 'clock at dawn
G 
D 
and worked the rail yard all day long
I walked them tracks with a
crooked back,
A 
whistlin' a word song
D 
And at the en d of every day,
G 
D 
I head to the bar and stay
A 
Till all my aches and sorrows
D 
have been drowned
G 
On that great northern railroad
D 
I live, I've been growin' old
G 
Em 
A 
And I left my dreams behind
D 
Perhaps on account of me
G 
My kids won't ever have to see
D 
A 
Life on that great northern railroad

D 
Well, time has had its way with me,
G 
and so has the company
D 
Walk with the cane,
A 
live with the pain of my injuries
D 
I once laid these tracks of pride
G 
D 
for a train that never arrives
A 
D 
Guess that's gonna be my legacy
G 
On that great northern railroad,
D 
I lived life in rule
G 
Em 
A 
And I left my dreams behind
D 
Perhaps on account of me
G 
My kids won't ever have to see

D 
Well, I care for my family so,
G 
but I reckon they'll never know
D 
Unless I lay that bottle down,
A 
I don't let it show
D 
I'm just a loving, angry man,
G 
D 
unhappy with the good Lord's plan
Dm 
A 
D 
And I'll pray I'll be forgiven when I go
G 
On that great northern railroad,
D 
I lived life in gold
G 
Em

D 
life on that
