Intro: G D Am Am/C C G D Cadd9



()(G)                (D)
Riding on this train 
         (Am)    Am/C     C   
Drinking whiskey for my pain
(G)              (D)       Cadd9
Another good ol' boy goin home 
(G)                (D)
And every town I see 
         (Am)   Am/C      (C)
Wants to take a part of me 
(G)                         (D)            (Cadd9)  
That's the price that you pay when you roam 
       (Am)        (Em)
And I cry when I have to 
      (F)   (C)      (D)
And I lie when I can 
      (G)   (D)         (C)
But I die a little slower 
       (G)    (D)        (Cadd9)
On the train to Birmingham 


I got holes in both my shoes 
I got this guitar full of blues 
And a one way ticket for my remedy 
It's the same ol' lonesome song 
I've been singing all night long 
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee 



And I cry when I have to 
And I lie when I can 
But I die a little slower 
On the train to Birmingham 

SOLO

Every year I take this train 
To Alabama in the rain 
I get that lonesome feelin' in my bones 
But I never get to Birmingham 
You know gettin' there ain't the plan                    
I just like the feel of going home 


And I cry when I have to 
And I lie when I can 
Oh but I die a little slower 
On the train to Birmingham 
       (G)     (D)       (Cadd9)
On the train to Birmingham
