Little Black Train Chords & Lyrics by Woody Guthrie
Little Black Train
guitar chords lyrics
For embellishments just do hammer-ons the e, a, and d strings. Also, a few bass
runs here and there.
He doesn't quite play it the right way all throughout.
G
There's a little black train a-coming
Coming down the track
C
You gotta ride that little black train
D G
But it ain't a-gonna bring you back
You may be a barroom gambler
And cheat your way through life
But you can't cheat that little black train
Or beat this final ride
You silken barroom ladies
dressed in your worldly pride
C
You`ve got to ride that little black train
G
That`s coming in tonight
Your million dollar fortune
Your mansion glittering white
C
You can`t take it with you
G
When the train rolls in tonight
Get ready for your savior
And fix your business right
You`ve got to ride that little black train
To make this final ride
You silken barroom ladies
dressed in your worldly pride
C
You`ve got to ride that little black train
G
That`s coming in tonight
You may be a barroom gambler
Cheat your way through life
C
But you can`t cheat that little black train
G
Or beat this final ride
There`s a little black train a-coming
Coming down the track
You`ve got to ride that little black train
but it ain`t a-gonna bring you back
