Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) She was a young and
pretty Coleman county farm (D major) girl
Never been (C major) more than (D major) fifty miles from (G major) home
I was just a drifter,
I was (D major) living off the land
Spent (C major) the summer on (D major) her daddy's (G major) farm
Verse 2
In the (G major) evening we'd walk
along the rail (D major) road
We'd hear (C major) that lonesome
(Dsus4) whistle in the night (G major)
And she'd pretend we rode
the rails to (D major) Denver
'Cause her (C major) head was full of
flash (Dsus4) in' neon (G major) lights

Verse 3
Twas that (C major) big old shiny diesel as
it roun (G major) ded Carter's bend
Was enough (C major) to make a young
(D major) girl want to (G major) roam
She'd pre (C major) tend she rode those shiny (D major)
rails (G major) all around the world
(E minor) And had the Texas (G major) Silver
(D major) Zephyr bring her (G major) home
Verse 4
As (G major) summer work was over
and (D major) restless got to me
I kept (C major) talkin' 'bout the places (D major)
I would (G major) go
Then her young head got to spinnin'
for the thing (D major) s she'd never seen
So she fol (C major) lowed me
to Den (D major) ver in the fall (G major)
Verse 5
Then jobs (G major) got scarce in central Color (D major) ado
And (C major) then the winter night
(D major) s got awful cold (G major)
Just one old army blanket
was the only (D major) one we had
No (C major) money for the (D major) oil to run the stove (G major)
Verse 6
Yes, that (C major) big old shiny diesel as
it roun (G major) ded Carter's bend
Was enough (C major) to make a young
(D major) girl want to (G major) roam
But through all (C major) those hungry night (D major)
s the only promise (G major) that I made
(E minor) I had the Texas (G major) Silver
(D major) Zephyr take her (G major) home (A flat major) (D flat major)
(A flat major) When she started
Verse 7
feelin' bad,
she didn't tell (E flat major) me
She had a way (D flat major) of keepin'
(E flat major) problems all her (A flat major) own
So I didn't know her troubles
with the baby (E flat major)
Before I (D flat major) could get a doc (E flat major) tor,
she was (A flat major) gone
Verse 8
Lord, I (D flat major) know it's not the way she
really (A flat major) wanted things to be
In her dream (D flat major) s she had
a pull (E flat major) man all her (A flat major) own
But she'd be proud (D flat major) of me to know
(E flat major) I kept my (A flat major) promise
(F minor) And had the Texas (A flat major) Silver
(E flat major) Zephyr take her (A flat major) home
And had the Texas Silver
(E flat major) Zephyr take her (A flat major) home
