Ingrid & Jim Croce - Another day, Another town
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6nlxR7YZxk
[Verse]
A
My dusty feet have kicked the stones
G6
Between a thousand railroad ties
F#7
From Boston down to New Orleans
Bm E
I left the girls a cryin'
A
But I've still got some ramblin' in me
G6
Got some miles left on my shoes
F#7
And before I take a job again
Bm E
I'll have to be low-down
A
Cryin' the blues
[Chorus]
A D A
So it's goodbye, baby, the whistle is a blowin'
D E
If I miss the train I'll have to stay around
A D E A
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
D E A
I'll be off to another day in another town
[Verse]
A
You say you'd like to ramble with me
G6
This ain't no life for a girl
F#7 Bm E
Too many people out to get you in a hobo's world
A
And it gets mighty cold when you're on the road
G6
'Cause a boxcar never was a home
F#7
But you could join me if you want
Bm E
I'm gettin' mighty tired of bein' alone
[Chorus]
A D A
So it's goodbye, baby, the whistle is a blowin'
D E
If we miss the train we'll have to stay around
A D E A
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
D E A
We'll be off to another day in another town
[Whistle solo, verse]
[Chorus]
A D E A
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
D E A
We'll be off to another day in another town (2x)
