G5                                     C5                          G5 
I hid out,in a boxcar,on a slow train,heading west 
  G5                                            D5 
Dressed like a railman,so not to seem conspicous 
         G5                                      C5 
The train whistled four times,indicating, 
        G5 
a track change, 
       C5                      G5           D5                        G5 
So I hopped off in Albertie,near Portage and Main. 

Chorus 
C5                                      D5         D5                   G5   
Ride the rails heading west,to the town I love best, 
   C5                   D5                               D5                  
I can only tell myself,good luck to the rest. 
C5                                   D5            D5             G5  
Ride the rails,ride the rails,to the city out west. 
 C5                        D5              D5     G5 
(Ride the rails to that city I love best.)

       G5                                      C5               G5 
The folk there are gentle, the women so nice 
        G5                         D5 
The Hospitality Inn,I sought for a bite, 
    G5                                     C5                  G5 
A bar in the Cabaret,to quench a mans thirst, 
 C5                     D5                                     G5  
Cigars on the pillow,and a rack of clean shirts, 

Chorus 
       G5                                    C5      
There's the place that's just right, 
       C5                         G5 
for a tuckered mans head, 
   C5                                D5 
With a doubled up mattress,on a four postered bed, 
   C5                    D5                                     G5      
Sheets of pure silk,a feathered pillow to match, 
       C5              A5             D5            G5     
Tattered and tired I lay down to rest. 
 
Chorus,then last line,{Slowly} 
C5                          D5                          G5 
Ride the rails to the city,for my final rest.
