Cadd9                (G)         Cadd9    (G)

       I've never been on the railroad

       'cause many times as they've passed me by

            never crashed in the desert,       or seen a rodeo

 

/ Cadd9 - (G) - / x2

 

Cadd9                (G)                    Cadd9 (G)

       Don't know much about the world woes or Vietnam

Cadd9    (G)                      Cadd9       (G)

              I've yet to read about Uncle Tom

Fadd9      (C)                       Fadd9  (C)

And I can't remember       a warm       December
