GOOD OLD AMERICAN GUEST

C                                         C7   
Well I'm longing to ride on a freight train
         F                         C
Put a slouch hat down low on the ears
                                              C7
I'm yearning to leave this old town on the flight
          D7                       G7
And lose all my troubles and cares
     C                              C7
In this day of airplanes and highways
     F                             C
Hey the slow way is sometimes the best
       F                  C        A
I'm longin’ to ride on a freight train
          D7         G7       C           
And be a good old american guest

 C                                                    C7
I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for
      F                      C
And spend a few days headed west
      F                    C       A
I'm longin’ to ride on a freight train
          D7         G7       C

C                                  C7
Well, the pressures of life they got to me
      F                       C
And they got down deep in my soul
                                                 C7
I'm tired of the rat-race wanna go back to the slow pace
            D7                    G7
And hear a fast train rattle and roll

C                                                    C7
I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for
      F                      C
And spend a few days headed west
