G(no 3rd) /F#
We are riding on a railroad,
singing someone else's song
For[/F#]ever standing by the cross road. Take a side and step along.
[/F#]We are sailing away on a river to the sea. Maybe you and me can meet
again.
[/F#] [D/F#]
We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song. Sing along.

Time to [D/C]time I tire of the life that [G/F#]I've been lead-ing
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.

We are riding on a railroad,
singing someone else's song
For[/F#]ever standing by the cross road. Take a side and step along.
[/F#]We are sailing away on a river to the sea. Maybe you and me can meet
again.
[/F#]We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song.[/F#]
