Railroad Man
The Eels 

F Am Bb2 Dm C (x2)
       F                         Am
          Feel like an old railroad man
       Bb2                       Dm           C
          Ridin' out on the Bluemont line
          Hummin' along old Dominion Blues
          Not much to see and not much left to lose

                                    Bb2                                     F
                          And I know I can walk along the tracks
                                     Am
                          It may take a little longer
                                      Bb2              C                  F        Am  Bb2  Dm  C
                          But I'll know how to find my way back

          I feel like an old railroad man
          Who's really tried the best that he can
          To make his life add up to something good
          But this engine no longer burns on wood

                          And I guess I may never understand
                          The times that I live in
                          Are not made for a railroad man
                                      *Interlude*    (repeat verse & fade)

          I feel like an old railroad man
          Getting on board at the end of an age
          The station's empty and the whistle blows
          Things are faster now and this train is just too slow

                          And I know I can walk along the tracks
                          It may take a little longer
                          But I'll know how to find my way back
                                      *Outro*    (repeat verse & fade)
