[Verse]
E
Frisco's a mighty long way
F#7
You can afford to fly
B7
But it might as well be the moon,
E
Lord, when you're as broke as I.
E
Here I sit with my head in my hands
F#7
Watching the trains roll by
B7
Lord, the Helping Hand Mission man warned me
E
That the nights here got cold.
[Chorus]
A E B7
When you're cold there's nothing as welcome as sunshine
E A
When you're dry there's nothing as welcome as rain
E B7
When you're alone there's nothing as slow as passin' time
E
When you're afoot Lord there's nothing as fast as a train.

[Verse]
E
Old Frisco's a mighty rich city
F#7
Now that ain't no lie
B7
they have some buildings
E
That reach nearly a mile in the sky.
E F#7
Everyone's so busy they can't tell me the reason why
B7 E A
Here's a world full of people so damn many people alone
E B7
When you're alone life just don't seem worth living
E E7
While you're alive gotta learn to live with the pain.
A
You've been grown for so long
E
There's no one left who'll forgive
B7
You find yourself searching your mind
E
For the links to the chain.
[Chorus]
A E B7
When you're cold there's nothing as welcome as sunshine
E A
When you're dry there's nothing as welcome as rain
E B7
When you're alone there's nothing as slow as passin' time
A E
When you're afoot Lord there's nothing as fast as a train.
