TRAIN TO BIRMINGHAM
(written by John Hiatt) / Kevin Welch - E
Capo  at  2nd Fret & play as written

D  A  Em  G  D  A  G

    D              A               Em              G
I’m ridin’ on this train, drinkin’ whiskey for the pain
      D                A         G...
Just another good ole boy headed home

And every town I see, seems to take a part of me
                                                 D
Well, that’s the price, that you pay, when you roam


Chorus:
       Em         Bm              C  G       A A/G A/F# A/E
Yes, I cry, when I have to, and I lie when I can
          D  F#m         Bm   G         D     A          D
Oh, but, I die  a little slower, on the train  to Birmingham



I got holes in both of my shoes, got a guitar full of blues

And a one-way ticket, for my remedy

It’s the same old lonesome song, I been singin’ all night long

Hey Porter, are we out of Tennessee

Repeat Chorus

Every year I take this train, to Alabama in the rain
When I get this lonesome feelin’, in my bones
But, I never get to Birmingham, ah but
Gettin’ there ain’t the plan
I just like the feel of goin’ home

Repeat Chorus
       D    A            G    D
On the train   to Birmingham
