Standard (EADGBE)

 We are riding on a railroad,

singing someone else's song

 Forever standing by the cross road. Take a side and step along.

 We are sailing away on a river to the sea. Maybe you and me can meet

again.

We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song. Sing along.

 Town to town, day by day

 There's a man up here who claims to have his hands upon the reins.

  [G/f#]

[G/f#]

There are chains upon his hands and he's riding upon a train.

singing someone else's song

again.
