Johnny Cash - Good Old Amerian Guest: chords

C
Well I'm longing to ride on a freight train
        F                         C
Put a slouch hat down low on the ears
I'm yearning to leave this old town on the flight
     D7                       G7
And lose all my troubles and cares

     C
In this day of airplanes and highways
          F                        C
Hey the slow way is sometimes the best
     F                     C          Am
I'm longin? to ride on a freight train
          F         G7      C
And be a good old american guest

Well the pressures of life they got to me
And they got down way deep in my soul
I'm tired of the rat-race want to go back to the slow pace
And hear a fast freight rattle and roll
I want to live out my days like a hobo
And take myself that long-needed rest

Chorus:
           C
So I'm longing to ride on a freight train
And be a good old American guest
      F                      C
And spend a few days headed west
     F                     C          Am
I'm longin? to ride on a freight train
          F         G7      C
And be a good old american guest

         C
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          Am
I'm longin? to ride on a freight train
          F         G7      C
And be a good old american guest
     F                     C          Am
I'm longin? to ride on a freight train
          F         G7      C
And be a good old american guest

Chorus:
         C
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          Am
I'm longin? to ride on a freight train
          F         G7      C
And be a good old american guest
