Johnny Cash - The Rock Island Line: chords

F#
Now this here's a story about
the Rock Island Line
F#
Well the Rock Island Line she
runs down into New Orleans
F#
There's a big tollgate down there and you know
F#
If you got certain things on
board when you go through the tollgate
F#
Well you don't have to pay the man no toll
F#
Well a train driver he pulled up
to the tollgate
F#
And a man hollered and asked
him what all he had on board and he said

F#
I got livestock
F#
I got livestock
F#
I got cows
F#
I got pigs
F#
I got sheep
F#
I got mules
F#
I got all live stock

Well he said you're alright boy
you don't have to pay no toll
You can just go right on through
so he went on through the tollgate
And as he went through he started
picking up a little bit of speed
Picking up a little bit of steam
He got on through he turned and
looked back at the man he said

Well I fooled you
I fooled you
I got pigiron
I got pigiron
I got all pigiron

Chorus:
F#
Down the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road,
                        C#7
Rock Island Line is the road to ride
F#
Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
Well if you ride,
 you got to ride it like you find it

Get your ticket at the
               C#7          F#
station on the Rock Island Line

F#
Looked cloudy in the west and
it looked like rain
C#7
Round the curve came a passenger train
C#7
North bound train on a southbound track
He's alright a leavin' but he won't be back

Chorus

F#
Oh I may be right and I may be wrong
     C#7                           F#
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

F#
Well the engineer said before he died
           C#7
There were two more drinks that
he'd like to try
C#7
The conductor said what could they be
a hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea

Chorus
